From Eroica With Love Disclaimer and information

I'm interested in finding three APAs called Late For Breakfast, Strange Bedfellows and Slash: The APA, in which Eroica information was published, if it was a story or something else?

I'm also interested in finding a story called The Keenest Blade by unknown. Seen at Escapade.

Finally, I'm interested in finding stories by Debbie, from back in the 80's. Please help!

A Snake's Tail by General Zargon added 141001
Dorian and Klaus gets captured during a mission. They're locked up together and tehir captors have taken Dorian's lockpick. They can see the keys, but are unable to get to them. Or are they? It turns out that Klaus has the most spectacular secret and Dorian is in for the shock of his life. There was no way Iron Klaus would have decorative scales. Imaginative story with good archs and techniques. Easily visualised. Clever language too. They boys nicely in character. Fresh feelng. Nice dashes of humor. I especially liked Dorian in this one. Good touch with the hypnothizing. Heh for the end.

Man's Best Friend by TelWoman added 141001
Z has a dog, a Dobermann. He has named it Klaus. Which is all good and well - utnil h has to bring the dog with him on a mission ... Something in the dog’s expression told Z that he was aware his master wasn’t getting ready to play again: that he had sensed something serious was happening, and that his master might be in need of protection. Awww ... poor Z ... I really liked the bits from dog!Klaus's POV, it felt real. Amusing. Good feel for the local area. Good choice of breeds. Cute end. Heh for the joke about a Husky in Alaska.

Flying Bullets, Fairytales and the Danger of Reconsiderations by Kadira added 140625
After getting accidentally shot by Klaus during a mission, Dorian reconsiders things. He'll never stop loving Klaus, but eight years of constant insults and the occasional punch might have to be enough. How will Klaus react to Dorian's decision? "Yeah, but I'm your damned thief," he said, voice rough, almost breathless, as he wrapped his arms around the other's neck, keeping him as close as possible. Nice dash of humor. Several good, stron gimages and use of senses. Good take on Klaus' dilemma/feelings in the matter. I especially liked Klaus in this one. Heh for Dorian's speculations about Klaus's motives and NATO needing a new accountant. Cute with Dorian cooking and Klaus eating, despite the possibly not quite proper result. Awww for the teaching to shoot, I like that. Heh for Klaus smiling at James, poor hing. Good use of German for Klaus. I thought we'd see Folliot again, maybe for a sequel?

New Employee Orientation by Laura Kaye added 140515
Dorian brings Bonham a new assistance -one has "liberated" from Klaus. But then the major comes calling ... "Lord Gloria says the Major shouts at people because he likes them," Bonham said soothingly. Interesting set-up and a nice OCF, which is unusual for this fandom. Heh for Bonham's advice to just nod along to Dorian and work it out later. Heh also for fixing the books before letting James see them. Good voice for Bonham.

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun by Nomad added 140515
Klaus has abandoned a rough undercover mission, but finds himself in an hostile area with no support. he expects to die, when he sees a very familiar figure. will Dorian help him again - and, if so, what does he want in return? Klaus didn't see what was so discriminate about becoming obsessed with a man who was incapable of returning his interest, but arguing with Dorian's insanity had never got him anywhere before, and right now he was just so crushingly tired it seemed wholly pointless to try. Nice description of Klaus's tiredness/fatigue after the long mission. Asexual Klaus is a favorite of mine and I like this version of him, it included some thoughtworthy ideas. I also liked Dorian. More would ahve been nice, but this works too. Good voice for Klaus. The unlikely random meeting fits the fandom. Nice dash of angst.

Comfort and Joy by TelWoman added 131230
Christmas and Dorian usually takes the holidays as an excuse to pester Klaus. However, not this year. This year the Eroica gang has a new member - Barnaby - and Dorian seems to be forgetting about his crush on Klaus. How will Klaus react when he finds out? And how come Jonesy can't find a trace of Barnaby before he joined them? Something strange is going on. Agent A closed the door on the way out, wondering what the terrible blankness in the Major’s eyes meant. Classic Eroica theme with a holiday twist. Good with the hint of supernatural, goes well with the manga. I liked Bonham being in touch with A.

A Christmas Mess by Amity33 added 131223
Klaus is forced to spend Christmas at Dorian's castle. Of course, he makes the best of the situation, so he starts cleaning up the castle, drafting the Eroica gang to do his bidding. All my men know that even if they are captured by the enemy, I will always find them…and if they talk while they’re captured, nothing the enemy can do to them will be worse than what I will do to them once I get them back. Cute story. Everyone well in character. A little hopeful for the future. Aww for Klaus getting to work a bit, as he likes. Heh for Klaus being a bit of a card shark. I liked Bonham's description about how the Eroica gang is held together by Dorian. Some good lines and descriptions. But also Klaus's way of trusting his men not to spill - it does sound like him.

Five Things Klaus Loves In Dorian by telwoman added 131223
Klaus ruminates about Dorian and his skills and strengths and what they mean to Klaus and their possible connection. When you look at him - really look at him, when you watch him carefully, you see that under the floaty clothes and the jewellery and the hair there's nothing effeminate about him. Well put about Dorian, several thought-worthy descriptions. Nice show of Klaus's conflicted emotions. I also liked the little sides to A, B and especially G. A bit sad end, I like more positive ends, but still interesting read.

White Rose Blooming by Kadorienne added 131022
From Eroica With Love, except that the reason Dorian steals is that he is a member of the Illuminati. Oh, and one of the requirements for joining the Illuminati is a vow of chastity. Dorian is a virgin. The repressed, irascible, beautiful psychopath was the moon, the stars, the flowers and the dreams to Dorian. While the story makes good use of canon, it's certainly not your usual Eroica story. Many interesting bits and good lines. Good use of Caesar Gabriel and a very interesting backstory for Klaus (Alexander most of all, but Gustav too). Also how Klaus initially viewed Dorian, for his potentials. Good use of Klaus for Dorian's vow, nice touch. Some nice descriptions of Dorian's wardrobe and more. Greta seems like a good person who might have suited Klaus in a different life. I liked Dorian to the rescue and even better how his men saved themselves, that was great. Good voices for both boys. overall good mission that ties together most everything. Sweet with the recurring Idiot thing and a good ending.

Of Secrets, Lovers and Idiots by Kadira added 131009
Finally Dorian steals something so important that Klaus has him arrested. Dorian isn't terribly concerned. Has he reason to be? And why did he steal the thing in the first place? Before Dorian could form a retort, Klaus put the locket carelessly in his pocket and continued: "Next time you miss me, use the phone instead of pulling such stunts." Smooth language with good images. Aww for the reason for Dorian stealing. Interesting about the knot. I also liked the backstory with Klaus's father. Nice with them having been together for a while but still are together. Heh for NATO playing nice with Dorian and keeping him in a cooperative mood. Another nice touch was that Dorian could get in trouble with the underworld for his involvement with NATO, a theme we don't see much of. Oh yes, Klaus is magnificent in his anger. Awww for Bonham using Windows 3.1 and a German hacker.

Scars by Chemcat added 131008
Klaus is well aware of that Dorian likes beautiful things. Klaus is also aware of that he, himself, has plenty of scars. What he does not know is how Dorian will react to his scars. Say, is that a Magnum in your pocket or … oh, it was. Short story, but nice on a theme I find very interesting and inspiring. Strong image of how Dorian's words affect Klaus. Cute end.

Look Both Ways by megankent and Stranger added 131008
Klaus and Dorian are on a mission in Turkey. Dorian steals for Klaus, then Klaus hears that Eroica has been arrested. He goes to free him -only instead of Eroica he finds one Alex Logan, rock band singer in Paradox. Alex resembles Eroica a great bit and was arrested by mistake. Klaus frees him anyway and goes undercover as a roadie for the band, waiting for things to calm down. How will Iron Klaus handle life in a rock band? And where is Dorian? The Major was hard, harsh, beautiful, and his at last. Interesting road story. I know nothing about rock bands and what happens during the trips and setting up, but this felt real and with good details. Good voice, especially for Klaus, but Dorian also well in shape. Some nice descriptions, good details, and several good lines. Overall interesting idea. Good on Klaus to help Eroica - and Alex - escape. A bit of worlds colliding here, but I think Klaus does a good job, for being him, poor guy. Good on Z to take charge for a bit. Aww for Klaus being Dorian's faithful German shepherd. Nice end. Heh for Dorian blackmailing poor B.

Freedom's Burning by TelWoman added 130917
A terrorist organisation, the Purification Brigade, is mobilising. Klaus catches one of them and finds out that the group plans a high-scale terrorist act. But in order to do so, they need to overcome extensive security, almost impossible to penetrate. The one of the best thieves in the world shows up - Dorian. To what lengths will the Bridgade go to get Dorian to work for them? He’d never met anyone as beautiful – or as arrogant – and he’d been captivated. Interesting take on a possible life for Dorian if he opts not to pursue Klaus any longer. Intense mission story for Klaus, good use of especially B, but I also liked the detail about L impersonating his superior. Eveything fits together smoothly, even the involvement of Dorian, who is falling into one of Klaus's missions as he so often does in canon. Positive, open ending. Especially Klaus well in character (but Dorian too). Good descriptions of Klaus. Interesting take on terrorists/fanatics that sounds real. I liked the name of the band. Good language.

The Alphabet - Stories in Reply by TelWoman added 130829
Snippets in reply to snippets, one each of Klaus's Alphabets. Not all here, but some really nice ones: problems Y and U faces; the view of G's day in male clothing as seen from a poor security man who had greatly admired his feminine charms and, of course, Dorian's reaction to Z's future career in the church. Every morning for three months, since he’d been assigned to security duties on this entrance to NATO Headquarters, Jürgen had told himself he was going to start a conversation with the pretty blonde, and ask her out. Lovely additions to the original snippets, especially the G one made me go aww ... Some very nice descriptions, good emotion. I liked the description of Dorian as an older man too.

The War of the Roses by Paraphilia added 130829
The morning after the night before. Dorian wakes first and is worried about Klaus's reaction when he wakes up. Will he be angry or upset; will he reject Dorian or pretend nothing happened? Then Klaus does wake up - and his reaction isn't quite what Dorian expected. He'd always loved roses, but if Klaus asked him to never touch another rose again, he'd do it. Nice dashes of angst and humor both. I like Klaus's reaction. Very intimate. Poor Dorian about the flowers, but a nice touch overall. Several good lines with good description. Heh for Dorian being addicted to Klaus's cigarettes. Good emotion.

Flood by Amity33 added 130828
Eroica has accomplished what no woman ever had been able to - he has made Klaus think of sex. Klaus is hesitant, though, worried what will happen if he does give in to the Earl, as Dorian haven't exactly got a reputation for caring overly for his conquests once he's made them. Then one day the Earl almost dies and Klaus need to reconsider his priorities. But more than that, he wanted it to be true…he wanted to believe that there was someone out there who could actually love him. Some nice descprions and some nice angst too. I like the idea about Klaus feeling insecure as to the future if he does give in to Dorian: I also do like his "solution" to the problem (not that I think Dorian actually would tire of him). Heh for Klaus watching his underwear. Another detail I liked was the tactic agreement between NATO and Interpol. Interesting idea of John-Paul and Jonesy being twins. Very sensual description of the gun similie. Klaus well in character.

Eroica Drabbles by Hunter added 130807
Drabbles setting some of the Eroica characters against each other: what is hidden behind B's unassuming mask, what does Dorian really think about Laurence and, of course, Dorian's thoughts of Klaus. All too often, the glimpses he got of Klaus's romanticism seemed too good to be true, and he thought they probably were. My favourite was Dorian and Klaus - and Dorian's peptalking himself into not giving up. But also Dorian vs. Laurence - go for it, Dorian, save us all from that. And, yes, while I might not see this particular side of B, I do think there's far more to him than is seen on the surface.

Two Sides, One Coin by Amity33 added 130806
Klaus and Dorian are two very different men, but they are also very similar. Dorian knows that to lure Klaus in, he must make things interesting to him, challenge him and keep him challenged. But is Klaus really falling for that or does he have his own view of things? One of the things he liked about Dorian the most was that, despite his feelings for him, he had never hesitated to take him on as an adversary when their interests conflicted, and whenever he did that, he was more than a match for him; his usual frivolous self notwithstanding, when Eroica got serious he became remarkably cunning and tenacious. Yeah, I could see the boys starting up something like this in the beginning. Amusing, if possibly a tad sad. Some very nice descriptions. Heh for Klaus equaiting The Man In Purple with a blowjob by Dorian (and thus a tank!). Interesting view of Klaus choices regarding his sexuality. Nice twist at the end.

Team Player by threnodyjones added 130722
Peter Lamb, an Interpol agent, is working undercover. An old boss of his recognizes him and intends to kill him.Instead he's rescued by ... Eroica, who takes him into his team even if he's not gay. Now he is in a great position to take down the Prince of Theives. What will he do? I began thanking God for the intelligence and whims of the man who called himself 'Eroica'. Interesting point of view to see Dorian and his gang from. I liked it. Pete seems nice. I found the plot inspiring. I liked also the background schooling for Dorian. Aww for Dorian thinking he's making progress as Klaus didn't hit him ... A's fearful denial of talking to Bonham I also found amusing. Cute with the flowers in the end.

Monologue of Two by threnodyjones added 130722
The major is as he is. But A has discovered that at rare times, the major can be different. Like early in the morning when it's quiet and still in the office, the two of them co-exists in a rare kind of peace. One morning, A overhears a very close conversation between Klaus and the Earl of Gloria. A was astonished every time the Earl's staff of collected mavericks followed him blindly into whatever their Lord took them. I like the look of Klaus in this one, it gives additional depth to the character. Good use of A, good depth to him as well. Yay for A and Z holding things together when Klaus is away. I felt a bit inspired by this story, hopefully a plot bunny might hop up one day. Strong substory with the little girl.

Iron Match by daniko added 130722
NATO hires an "impartical party" to evaluate the job performance of Klaus and the Alphabet. A Colonel Heinz von dem Eberbach - Klaus's father. As if that wasn't enough, the current mission involves Eroica dressing up like a woman - and the Colonel draws conclusions regarding the relationship between "her" and his son ... The Colonel spared him a haughty stare and A fidgeted, remembering in a flash the multiple times when he had been under that same stare, only coming from somewhere higher and usually followed by the threat of Alaska. I do have a weak spot for Klaus's father. Difficult to tell if he knows or not about Dorian being a man - would have been interesting with more in this story, but it works this way too.

Honour Among Thieves by Filigree added 130715
Continuation of More Than Meets The Eye by Yoiko, then abandoned and reworked by Margaret Price to House of Cards. When Russia gets provisionary status into NATO, Klaus've had enough - he takes his toys and go. Go underground, to save his nation. He takes everything with him, including the Alphabet. Eroica might have joined him - except Dorian is actually not a British, aristocratic thief in this one. Well, he pretends to be. In truth he's an American secret agent deeply undercover. He's not even gay ... Which is a bit awkward, becaus Klaus just admitted to loving him. The man might deserve to have his head on a pike, but he didn’t deserve James. Lovely intrigue, beautiful setup, very interesting. While House of Cards was interesting enough, certainly, it would have been very interesting to see where this set-up would have gone with this author as well.Nice language. Nice dash of humor. I really liked the part where Dorian hears sound and recognize them as familiar: Klaus cleaning his gun: intimate and a lovely touch. I also like Dorian's team in this one.

Servant of Two Masters by Dargelos added 130702
Hans Gruber (Die Hard) hired Pik and Emil (Hard Target) to assassinate Major von dem Eberbach (From Eroica With Love). Pik and Emil is a couple, but apart from killing von dem Eberbach, Gruber also wants Pik. The couple are having difficulties and Pik goes to Gruber. But things get much more complicated and Gruber is a really greedy man. Will he get all that he wants? "I thought I'd die if I couldn't listen to your heart beat just once more," he confessed, and heard the organ in question beat steadily, slowly. I'm an Eroica-fan and of the three fandoms Eroica is the smallest part. My reading of this story was also hampered as I hadn't seen Hard Target and remembered next to nothing of Die Hard (I now have them both on my "to watch"-list). I still found this an interesting read. I did like the major characters for all that their relationship is so rocky. Lovely angst, lots of feeling and interesting characters. The brief look at Eroica and Klaus was nice too and I hope all works out for everyone.

Steel Roses by cher added 130627
Dorian haven't interfered with Klaus in a good while - and then Klaus finds out why: Dorian was seduced by a double agent looking for dirt on Klaus, and was hurt when he would not give any. How will Klaus react? Klaus would not allow a stupid word like worry into his head, but he had begun to wonder what enormous depraved stunt the idiot was dreaming up, to be leaving NATO unplagued this long. The plot works. Poor Dorian. Both he and Klaus has a point in their reactions, but I do hope they will work things out and I like the hopeful ending. I was amused by Dorian considering sending his men to Alaska, as that seems to work for Klaus.

Collective (Master-at-Arms of the Dawn Treader) by pixieface added 130626
Drabble Narnia/Eroica in which Klaus is the master-at-arms on the Dawn Treader. The Dawn Treader's Master-at-Arms was a dark-haired man from Beaversdam with green eyes which flashed when he was angry, which was all the time. Cute drabble. I'd like to have seen it expanded upon, but I really like the idea and it made me smile. Inspiring.

Peripeteia by Sylvia added 130626
During a wedding, Dorian infiltrates castle Eberbach as a waitor, in order to steal the Man in Purple. Instead, he stumbles over one of Klaus's most closely guarded secrets - and finally makes significant progress in his quest. Besides, Dorian could not imagine ever having enough of him, or even wanting to stray while he had this man in his bed. On rereading this story I was a bit worried to realize that one of my own stories is a bit similar. As I likely read this story first (when I first got into From Eroica With Love I read all stories and I must have read this one too) I'll say I was inspired by this story. I've read and reread and I'll say that while the basic plot has some similarities, two paragraphs in particular gets a bit close, but I do think the language is fully my own and most of all they just fit the characters so well they are fully logical and independent. Peripeteia is a good story in itself, it has good development and emotion, several good lines, a good language with good description. A bit difficult read in places, even if nothing is actually confirmed, mostly heavily hinted at, still nice angst. I like the backstory of the von dem Eberbachs.

The Beat That My Heart Skipped (Sounded Like This) by Liviapenn added 130625
Even if Klaus loved Dorian, he couldn't trust someone who has tried to blackmail him. Can he trust Dorian? And even if he could, will he? As it turned out, unbridled lust for Eroica felt a lot like unbridled fury did. Interesting take on blackmail and the reasons for them. Nicely written. I liked the twist about the painting, well done. Good on Dorian to not let himself be blackmailed - and nice use of that at the end.

Details by rsadelle added 130625
Klaus's father dies. Klaus can't get away at the time, so Dorian helps him with all the practical details. Maybe this gives Klaus something to think about. He knew exactly what some of the relatives were thinking when they came in together, and he didn't really care. Interesting premis, sad that the work was abandoned, it had potentials.

Death and Grief by rsadelle added 130613
Two large tragedies strikes Klaus in quick succession. This hits him very hard - but in his weak moment, an unexpected rock steps up to keep everything together for him. As long as I live, you will not be alone in the world. Short, but inspiring with a strangely good feeling despite the very serious things that happens, even a little awww-worthy. Very good on Dorian, I really like him in this fic. Poor Klaus ...

Only When I Lose Myself added 130604
Dorian is nearly killed on a mission. Klaus only barely manages to rescue him. This makes Klaus consider how things would be if the fop was dead. He would miss him, if he weren't around to bring a bright spark of havoc into Klaus' otherwise dully organised existence. Nicely done version of this plot. Some nice description and overall good feeling. Even a hint of nice angst, which I like.

Exercise by torch added 130604
Klaus and Dorian are locked in together. Dorian enjoys Klaus's efforts to get them out. "You sweat very nicely." Cute story that made me smile. Bad Dorian. Good dialogue.

The Green-Eyed Monster Affair added 130531
UNCLE and NATO joins forces for a mission. More than that, Dorian and Napoleon joins up to try to make Klaus jealous. How will Klaus react - and what does Illya think? The Major's conclusion was that clearly Eroica wasn't really interested or he never would have betrayed him by running around with you. Nice crossover, smoothly written. Nice description of Dorian and his wear. Interesting to see Klaus with a Russian on his side, so to speak. Bad Dorian and Napoleon for trying to fool Klaus. Klaus's reaction to them very believable.

Dutch Courage by Kadorienne added 130523
Dorian opens his hotel room door to find Klaus outside. A Klaus who is drunk and wants to have sex with him. Now what is Dorian to do - and what happened to lead Klaus to this? Fighting off Klaus’s advances wasn’t something he had ever expected to find himself doing, but under the circumstances he really didn’t have much choice. Poor Klaus, it's not easy when your plot does not go as planned. And how typical that just that particular time Dorian does not push ... Good on Dorian for acting the gentleman. Also for equalizing taking advantage of a drunk to rape. Aww for Klaus seeming momentarily hesitant if Dorian wanted him or not.

Birthday Suit by Kadorienne added 130522
Dorian shows up in Klaus's bed on his birthday - year after year. Klaus reacts badly at first, then throws him out or make him regret himself. One year, though, Klaus reacts differently. Conrad did make sure the cook made a large portion of fried potatoes, as he always did on this date, but he knew better than to acknowledge the occasion in any other way, and Klaus pretended not to know why he was being served his favorite food. Sweet. Good interaction between the boys. Bad Klaus, with the porn mag and the itching powder - but both sounds like something he could do. Sweet with the butler wanting to do at least something for Klaus (and later preparing for Klaus having the sheets burned). Yes, something like what I imagined, especially the ending (since it was inspired a bit by a line in one of my stories).

The Picture of Dorian Red by Kadorienne added 130522
Fusion between from Eroica With Love and The Picture of Dorian Gray, in which Dorian (Eroica-Dorian) has his portrait made and lets the picture carry all the strain of his excesses and pursuits. He steals The Man In Purple - only then Amanda (Highlander) steals his portrait and sells it to Klaus to ransom back Klaus's own painting. What will Dorian do now and what will happen? Dorian stared at the spot where his portrait was supposed to be until well past dawn, frightened for the first time since it had been painted. Interesting fusion. I like the idea. Several nice lines and I really like the ending, very well done. I liked the first part following the manga but adepted for another time. On reading this I reflected again that I'm very glad Caesar with friends disappeared from the story as quickly as they did. Heh for Klaus thinking Dorian sent Amanda when Dorian's own charms had been ineffective. Good point of Dorian preferring men resembling himself in coloring and built, possibly for narcissistic reasons. Heh for both Dorian and Luminous ignoring Amanda for her escort. Poor Abdecker ...

Morning Interlude by Kadorienne added 130520
Klaus wakes up in bed with Dorian. That's okay, they're lovers. However, Mischa and a group of Russian agents are also in the room, taking pictures of them, which does put a bit of damper on the morning. The Major was an early riser, but this particular morning he was so exhausted from the previous night’s activities that he slept well past dawn and only awoke when his shoulder was firmly prodded with the butt of a gun. Nice feel between Klaus and Dorian in this one. I like the nearly "business as usual" tone, despite what happens. Good humor too - I liked the dry humor of Dorian complaining about Klaus "bringing home work" and Klaus countering by Interpol pounding on their hotel door. Nice of Dorian to let them think Klaus is on top.

Hamburg Nights by Kadorienne added 130520
Film Noir AU in which Klaus is the detective and Dorian the client come to hire him. When God made Dorian Red, He was in the mood to show off. Lovely Film Noir, very classic. Nicely done, though my favourite part is the glorious descriptions of Dorian, some really nice ones.

The Beautiful and the Beastly by Kadorienne added 130520
Dorian is in an accident and is disfigured. He withdraws from the world. One day, Klaus comes to visit him. What does he want? All my beauty – it would have belonged to you alone, if you had ever wanted it. Poor Dorian ... It feels like such sacrilidge to have him not beautiful. Good on Klaus to be there. Still a sweet story, with so much grief in Dorian and, my favourite part, how Klaus explains how he felt like Dorian feels now.

Rose Vines And Wire Ropes by Kadorienne added 130513
Klaus butchers a mission. He's booted out of NATO. In disgrace, he exiles himself to Alaska. Of course, while everyone else seems to abandon him, there is one who has not given up. Dorian arrives. Will Klaus give in? And what really happened on that mission? "I've been relieved of my military rank, I was thrown out of NATO, I've disgraced my family name, my father has disowned his only son and heir, and the only person I know who is still willing to speak to me is a thief and a pervert." Sweet story and I alwyas like when Dorian stays firmly on Klaus's side no matter what. Nice development of the relationship. Dorian nicely in character, Klaus in a difficult role for him and thus a little tricky to get a good feel for (and I'm not sure I see Klaus as potentially suicidal), but still a nice story with several good lines. I, as Dorian, did think it might be an undercover trick at first, but I'm glad it worked out. Awww for Klaus doubting that Dorian is there just for him. Cute with Klaus's sense of humor. Sweet end.

Versimilitude by TelWoman added 130416
Dorian comes into contact - very close contact -with a young artist who is very good at drawing like others. The young man doesn't want to be involved in crime, but when Klaus contacts Dorian that NATO needs Guernica replaced by a copy and Dorian's regular forgerer won't have time for everything Dorian needs for him to do, Dorian contacts the young man again. The difference he saw in Dorian surprised Joseph most of all: instead of the elegant aesthete, he saw a focused strategist, a leader in full control of his men, managing the complex operation with military efficiency. A very interesting look in on Dorian's work with his team. I really like to see his competence and seriousness. Heh for it taking a better criminal than his dad and his associates to persuade the young man to crime. While the story isn't primarily K/D I do like how Dorian's skill impresses Klaus - nicely done. Nice descriptions and realistic feeling.

Caveat Emptor by TelWoman added 130411
Buyer beware. Paintings are showing up on the market that were stolen in a rather spectacular heist some time ago. The seller claims to be Eroica. Only Dorian didn't commit that heist and he isn't the one selling. But not only does someone use the Eroica name to fence gods - they're selling forgeries! Dorian is not pleased. “An audacious operation, well timed, well targeted, no traces left – sounds like Eroica to me.” Interesting to see the people who buy the fakes - and their reaction to finding out. I could feel sorry for some of them. Good plot idea, felt fresh. Dorian's reaction well in character. I only would have wanted for him to slam down with the rage of Red on the thief. Klaus a little grim to start with, but he redeemed himself to me when he called Dorian's cell even if INTERPOL might answer. Good to see Dorian's men on their own, it gives a deeper image of them. I liked INTERPOL hunting Dorian, we get very little of that, so that was nice.

Journey by TelWoman added 130402
Tired of the way Klaus treats him, Dorian decides to go on a solo cruise in a friend's yatch. In the middle of the sea, though, he falls ill. When h wakes up, he's no longer alone. Aboard is a tall, dark-haired man who looks very, very familiar ... At first, he'd treated Klaus as he usually did, flirting and goading - the man was so adorably sexy when he lost his temper. Nice touch of the supernatural, which fits Eroica well. Good language, interesting, fresh, inspiring. Hot too. Perhaps not a completely happy ending, but a hopeful one. Bad Klaus, very foul-mouthed. Klaus does not deserve Dorian in this one, though I detect a slight worrying when Dorian goes missing, so I'm willing to forgive him.

Bitter by Telwoman added 130402
For once, a mission doesn't go Klaus's way. An undercover mission in hostile terratory, his contact person is incompetent and there's nothing Klaus can really do to salvage the situation. What will happen? Working under the direction of an unknown quantity was not what Klaus would have preferred, but he had no say in the matter so he swallowed his protests, grudgingly resolving to make the best of the situation. Interesting look on Klaus's life. Not your usual Eroica-story, which felt refreshing (even if I in the grand scheme of things prefer Klaus to always succeed), despite the serious topic. Some very nicely written descriptions. A bit dark, but believable, human, and if Klaus had been real he probably would have had missions like that, sadly. Nice original character.

As The Twig is Bent by TelWoman added 130327
Dorian had a life long before he met Klaus. This story shows scenes from his youth and what formed him until he starts establishing himself as his own man. They watched through the window as Dorian, long-legged and suntanned with a cascade of sun-bleached hair brushing his shoulders, moved easily about the deck of the boat tied to the jetty. Not always a pretty story and some dark or sad aspects, but well written. Good language, believable what happens. Well-described, some beautiful images. Interesting portrait and development.

A Matter of Seeing Things Differently by TelWoman added 130326
Klaus is going after an international arms dealer and intends to break into his house to find evidence. Only, when he gets there, a break in is already in the works. The arms dealer owns a painting which Dorian wants and he has planned the heist for quite a while. Klaus recruits him. When he’d first met Eroica, Klaus had formed the impression that the man was a frivolous air-head, and his men a chaotic bunch of sycophants – but after a few contacts with them, he’d realised that was all a smoke screen. Nice story, lovely metaphore with the painting and its effect on our dear Klaus. Interesting. Both boys in good form. Good with Dorian being angry with Klaus for a bit, I liked that, also Dorian's intelligence gathering being more effective than Klaus's. And good on Dorian to take the painting anyway.

Oh, the dreadful wind and rain by TelWoman added 130326
When Klaus is killed in his sleep, no-one suspects the real killer. Everyone knew he was too honourable to shoot a man as he lay sleeping. Darker than I usually like my fic, but still interesting. Nice format with the song, very poetic.

Ichabod and the Hessian by Heather Sparrows
Ichabod is about to leave Sleepy Hollows, but is stopped by the Horseman, who wants him to help him with something. Will Ichabod be able to help and what will happen afterwards? Later in the series a crossover to a From Eroica With Love AU, set in the time of Sleepy Hollows. One of Klaus's missions take him to America - and he has to bring Dorian. In America he meets up with an American police man, Ichabod Crane, and an associate of his, a man with very sharp teeth. Lord Gloria was indeed a picture to stare at, a tall, slender figure in an electric blue dressing gown, enhancing the colour of his eyes, a lion’s mane of golden curls framing his handsome face and falling down to his shoulders. Interesting story, well written, nice detals. Nice descrition and good emotions. Nice touch of a bond between them after Ichabod touched the Hoseman's skull. I especially liked the veiw from Daredevil - beautiful. Interesting backstory for the Hessia. The crossover also interesting. Good, intelligent plot. Several interesting original characters. Warm, even if a hint dark in places. Nice dashes of humor. Good, suitable language. James in good shape and I like that he got a happy ending and aww for him giving away money. Cute with Klaus smoking pipe and heh for the tank drawing.

A Father's Pride by pantswarrior
Klaus is away and Dorian goes to Schloss Eberbach, intending to steal the man in purple. Only, the schloss is not empty. Dorian meets Klaus's father. And after an impassioned explanation, I must agree that a well-maintained Leopard tank is a glorious sight. I enjoyed the interaction between Dorian and Klaus's father. Well in character, good dash of humor. Poor Klaus ... I would have loved a continuation of this story.

Allies in the Attic by Cameo
During a mission, Klaus gets separated from his men, with only Dorian for company. They have to rely on one another to get through the difficult situation. On another occasion, when he’d overheard Agent Z tell a colleague that Eroica belonged to the Major, Klaus hadn’t thought it asinine at all. Nicely written with good feel for the characters and their closeness to one another. I like how easy they cooperate. Heh for G and Z warning people off from Dorian and Klaus, respectively. Good dash of humor.

And How Was Your Weekend by Heather Sparrows
Klaus new mission is to provide security to the Christopher Street Day festivities. Instead of one gay, he gets thousands of them. But the parade needs security for a reason. And maybe Dorian will be there if he needs him. Klaus had the fleeting impression that, regarding Eroica's capricious nature, he'd better have shouted "Stay away from me!" Poor Klaus, what a mission. The parade is very nicely described and I like the loving portraits of the workers. Nice set-up from the start and I like that Klaus has the possibility to see a different side of Dorian and also to be immersed in gay culture. Nice local descriptions. And they'd be welcome in Stockholm. Cute with Unit Two and agents named after numbers.

Blood and Iron by Kadorienne
On a solo mission in Rumania, Klaus is forced to visit an old abandoned castle. Only when he enters the lower levels, the castle isn't quite as abandoned as it seems. He's attacked by a vampire, only the vampire makes the fatal mistake of underestimating Klaus and Klaus emerges victorious - and a vampire. His new life is quite different from his old one - and contains several surprises. It took more than conversion to the undead to discourage Eroica. Well-written, interesting story. A nice read. I found it inspriring. Good ending. Several good lines. I liked Klaus getting cobwebs in his hair as he's too cautious to lower his gun, nice detail. Nice with Dorian's reaction and how he helps him. And the butler's reaction was priceless.

Breaking and Entering by Neery
Klaus really needs Dorian to help him with a mission, but Dorian refuses as the risks are simply too great. Then Klaus makes Dorian a shocking offer. He'd found his thoughts straying in indecent directions far too often lately, as if the few days where he'd thought he would finally let Dorian have his way with him had opened some sort of floodgate, and now he couldn't get his wandering mind back under control. Yummie story. I find Klaus offering himself in payment to Dorian completely delicious. Not for Dorian to accept, but the act of offering is lovely. Nice set up, making Dorian turning away Klaus's original request believable. Nice little adventure. Good in character, I especially liked Dorian, though I like the internal reasoning of them both, works well. Nice angst. I like the bedroom scene after Dorian's nightmare a lot, very intimate and I really like the idea of Dorian at the Schloss and them running. Several nice lines. Yay for Dorian slapping Klaus. Nice ending.

Breaking Point by Kadorienne
Something big has happened to Klaus and he is a pale copy of his old self. Dorian has no idea what has happened. What is he to do? If it didn't seem outrageous to describe the fearsome Major with such a word, Dorian would have called his expression bashful. Dark theme, normally darker than I like, but just on the right side of the line. Nicely done, nicely handled. I like the resolution. Also the use of Klaus's eyes to illustrate his mood/state. Nice to see emotion in Klaus, even if I wouldn't want to see so much of it in a regular fic. Poignant.

Confidential by Kadorienne
Eroica has been stealing top secret information. NATO believes he has been turned. Klaus is ordered to determine what Eroica really is up to - by way of seduction if necessary. But what is really the truth? Klaus was not surprised that his first sign of Dorian's presence was find a long blade intimately pressed against his Adam's apple. Serves Klaus a bit right, tsk, tsk. Poor boy if Dorian finds out the truth, though. Nice twist, nicely done. Inspiring.

Curly Tails and Tusks by Heather Sparrows
AU in which Klaus and Dorian are ... pigs! The brave boar Klaus protects his horde and his forest, until one day he has the misfortune of running into a crazy pink pig ... "I am Pink Piglet Dorian, and I always get what I want!" SPECIAL COMMENT FROM BBK: The best story ever! Big Boar Klaus is the bravest, proudest, best big boar in the world and there is no pig as pink and elegant and lovely as Pink Piglet Dorian! An amazing adventure! BBK/PPD forever!

Decent Proposal by Kadorienne
Same-sex marriages are finally legal in Germany and on the very day Dorian goes to Bonn a-courting. "Klaus Heinz von dem Eberbach," he asked in ringing tones, "Will you do me the honor of granting me your hand in marriage?" Awww. Lovely story, it always makes me smile to read. Well in character, believable, nicely done.

Desperate Measures by Kadorienne
NATO borrows in an American "Romeo" agent to seduce a woman for information. The man claims he's able to pick up anyone. Seeing that the man is very good at what he does, Dorian enlists his help in seducing Klaus. The Romeo agrees, but he wants something very valuable in return. Will Dorian be able to pay the price and, even if so, will the seduction work? But then, years of seeing him as the unstoppable Prince of Thieves hadn't separated the Major from his crisply pressed trousers. Very interesting story. I like several of the ideas used in it. Nice twist at the end. Many good lines. Interesting OCs. Nice dash of humor. Tsk, tsk, silly boy Klaus. And, yes, please keep Keegan away from Lawrence. I did enjoy the way Dorian handled Klaus once he had him a bit on the hook. Cute about the tank.

Eight Years Later by Carol
The manga went on a hiatus. Klaus and Dorian moved in as lovers and are very happy. Misca raises prize roses. Then Aoike returns and all goes south. They definitely would have to keep the fact they were lovers a secret from Aoike. Heeeh. Very amusing. And yes, it would be great if they could have something like that in the down time. I wonder if Mischa has Eroica roses - he should.

Fabulousman by Kadorienne
Meteors fall on Earth and give many people superpowers. One of them being Dorian, now also known as Fabulousman, fast, strong and able to fly. Luckily, he's on the good side. Klaus, on the other hand, is not one of the meteor effected. When Dorian coaxes his mouth open, Klaus acccepts his tongue without protest. Very amusing. Lovely idea, very well executed. I smiled all the way through reading it. I especially loved Dorian being the only super hero with more than one outfit (but everyone recognizes him anyway). And Dorian's more forceful approach working, I always thought so. Noooch for the Russians not wanting to play with Klaus any longer.

Five Days in Padesca by Laura Kaye
Mission over, but it didn't end too well, forcing Dorian and Klaus to walk six hours to the nearest town. The hotel they check into only has one room available. Usually this would not be a good thing, as the major would react badly. But when he realises they have to stay there for four entire days, Klaus seems surprisingly calm. The prize was worth it… and even if Klaus never did relent, it would be worth it still, for those rare times when they were quiet and still together, or when in the heat of a mission a spark of camaraderie flashed between them. Sweet story, well-written with many nice details and good emotions. Aww for Klaus helping Dorian with his feet and not going to let Dorian get arrested. Very amusing in part. Heh for Dorian having ways to get home earlier - of course he would have. Sweet also with the pajamas, a nice touch. I especially liked Dorian in this one. Bitewise very nice intimacy between them. I also like Klaus's matter of fact approach to how they are seen by others. Good detail about Dorian's hair being an easily removed identifier, that was inspiring.

Goodwill To All Men by Karen Colohan
Klaus is forced by his boss to host a masquerade party. Dorian is invited and comes as a devil intight-fitting leather. And finally, at long last, Klaus gives in. He wondered if Klaus feared he would not be wanted, now that he had shown that brief moment of capitulation. Poor Klaus, that boss of his really isn't nice to him. Normally I prefer stories with plenty of angst and plot, but this one I liked for the ease of the fall, the natural progression, but also the tension and the hot (yet intimate) sex. Several good lines and details and a nice little dash of angst.

Dorian and Klaus in present times series by Heather Sparrows
Klaus gets married and a car-accidents prevents Dorian from being around for a while. Twenty years later, Klaus' wife is dead, he has a son and Dorian's long-time lover is also dead. On an impulse, Dorian contacts Klaus and they meet up. Has anything changed? I wonder whether he still is that ravishing beast of prey which broke my heart ...? Interesting, thought-worthy story. Nice details with fleshed out original characters. Inspiring and nicely written. I liked the detail with Volovolonte marrying Dorian's sister, heh! Nice to know that there's always hope.

Hands by chemcat
Dorian breaks into a house looking for treasure - and finds the greatest treasure of them all - a bound NATO major. Now what will Dorian do? You think it’s enough to blindfold and handcuff me and I’ll go quietly? I could se something like this in canon, Dorian accidentally finding Klaus in such a situation. Amusing possibility. Good end. Good logic on Klaus's part. Bad Dorian, playing with Klaus's prudency.

Strangelove by Hunter
Klaus likes having Dorian angry and annoyed with him. He likes it a lot ... Not even the purloined catsuit was doing much for him anymore, but god, Eroica's voice over the phone ... Cute story that made me smile. Tsk, tsk, Klaus ... Poor Dorian.

I Dream Of Eroica by Kadorienne
AU in which Dorian is a genie. Klaus has his bottle, though he's not always all that happy with all the favours his genie wants to make him. "You know you are the only man for me, Master," he cooed, flinging his arms around Klaus's neck. Aww for Klaus having fun with his playmates, even if Dorian tries to "help" him. And cute what Dorian does to the women Klaus's father tries to get him together with. I also liked the Lawrence sequence, that was interesting. Fun story.

I saw what? by genki-blonde
Christmas. Young Catherine Rosenberg celebrates with her family, including her unlce Dorian and someone she heard her mother refer to as her uncle's new boy-toy, even if Catherine thinks he's neither a boy or looks like a toy. Besides, Catherine saw something far more interesting regarding uncle Dorian last night. The way uncle Dorian kissed Santa was more like a fairytale princess kissing her prince. Awww -cute. Children can be annoying as original characters, but Catherine was really cute. I'd love it if canon would explore more of Dorian's family. And having seen Klaus in a santa outfit I found this really neat. Tsk, tsk, such a foul language, Santa. Of course, Dorian had probably been naughty ...

In Focus by chemcat
Klaus is not easily distracted. He has full focus on what he wants and what interests him. A single person was never able to hold his interest for long. However, when he met a certain blue-eyed son-of-a—thief, he had no other choice but to divide his attention. Nicely structured story. Short but thoughtworthy and good language, even a touch sweet.

Incontrovertible Envidence by Kadorienne
Klaus and Dorian are captured by Mischa, who injects Klaus with truth serum and asks him questions - about the spy net work, but later about his sexuality - and his relationship with Eroica ... That he was the only one who seemed to realise just how much of a sacrifice Klaus had made with that move meant he probably had something of his own to hide. Great idea, nice execution. Very nice touch to mix in Klaus's bosses. Also nice details about Klaus's father and the Warsaw operation, other things too. I really like Dorian in this one. Nice ending.

Iron Hand, Velvet Glove by Vesta Eirii
Klaus and Dorian finally have sex, but afterwards Klaus does not want anything more to do with Dorian. Dorian, however, is not about to let his prize slip out of his hand and goes after Klaus again, this time even more forcefully. Where will it end? Moments like this, when he somehow managed to slip past the Major's defences, were delicate and precious. Very interesting development. Nice descriptions. Well written, hot sex-scenes with a lovely hint of borderline non-con. In character.

Klaus and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Enigel
Dorian comes to Bonn and discovers that Klaus is having a very bad day - or rather the Alphabet has, as they all fail at their mission, every single one of them. "This day couldn't have been fully miserable without you." Really funny idea. Well written and in character. Nicely rounded, tight story, very amusing. Poor Klaus - I liked his solution though, to deport himself to Alaska. Good use of Z.

Last Request by pantswarrior
Dorian and Klaus are trapped together in a death trap; a toss-up if they'll die of heat exhaustion, dehydration or running out of air. The end is close - and Dorian has a final request. What is it and will Klaus agree? His pride and determination still showed through, and the voice grew in strength as the song went on; he sang the words of the Panzerlied as though he truly meant them. Nice set-up. Sweet story, a bit awww-worthy. Lovely with the song.

Lay Your Sleeping Head by Terri Botta
Klaus gets into trouble. Dorian rescues him, but in doing so, Dorian has to kill someone. Klaus takes care of him afterwards - and in the process the two of them grow closer until Dorian finally realises how to go about getting his man. Dorian had killed for him, and for some reason that knowledge was powerfully attractive. Nice first time story with good, easy flow. Many good lines. I do like that Dorian would be willing to kill for Klaus, but his breakdown afterwards is also belieavable. Interesting with Klaus getting in trouble, I like the human side of him - and I really like Dorian to the rescue. Poor Dorian, but at least the story ended very well for Klaus. Nice banter between them. As for Klaus falling for a show of strength I think that would work very well for him. Hot sex.

Like It's The End Of The World by Kadorienne
There's a zombie upraising. The death toll has reached a bilion, still rising - in the last months a sixth of the human race has been killed. Klaus and his men have found the source and go to London to eradicate it. The night before, though, they seek shelter in Dorian's castle in North Downs. Dorian expected to be shoved away instantly, but instead Klaus gave a resigned sigh and patted his back. Nice zombie apocalypse! I liked Dorian knowing "Phibby". Great use of Klaus's resourcefulness. Interesting comparison to the assassination attempts, good tightening of tension. Sad about those who died, but it was necessary for the story.

Like Rust by waftimah
Like rust on iron, Eroica grows on Klaus. It takes a long time and happens gradually and maybe rust isn't the most desirable thing, but it's very insistent. Looking at those eyes, it’s as though he and Lord Gloria were fighting a battle, and he’s just given up enough ground to lose the war. Poor Klaus, no chance ... Some sweet scenes, though, and some good lines. I liked the iron won't bend because of time alone-line. Cute when Klaus does show he cares. Heh for unbelievably coincidental meetings.

Lot in Life by vadianna
Klaus was never really interested in sex, either with men or women. He loves, though, deeply and faithfully. However, getting dumped by his high school sweetheart for not being physically demonstrative doesn't really makes him open to possibilities. But then there's Dorian, who just won't give up. Klaus's father's death makes Klaus consider things and it's easy not to keep running. But with Klaus's limitations and Dorian's expectations, can they have a future? Only death would ever part him from the Major, if he had anything to say about it. Good, highly believable description of an - more or less -a sexual and their first attempt at sex. Also good the desciprions of Klaus's still very deep emotions and I could understand his attitude of wanting to give pleasure even if he himself might not exactly share it. Several good lines. Poor Klaus. Interesting with the languages used and switched between. Normally I would say that when you talk with someone the two of you settle on a single language, not each sticking to their own, but with the two of them I could see them starting out and just refuse to stop. Interesting and kind of sweet with Helene, even if it didn't work out. Good detail about Bonham's skills. The horse scene didn't work for me, it read more like a dream. Good plot device to involve Dorian in Klaus's case. Heh for the Hll Gate to Schloss Eberbach. I like Dorian blackmailing/trading for time with Klaus. I greatly enjoyed the the ongoing joke of people understanding them even when they use their "code" language. Poor agent E ... Yay for Dorian opening knots with his toes, that's great. Sad with B and C, of course,. A hint dark story, but overall good feeling. Some nice descriptions of their outfits. Awww for the birthday present Klaus gives Dorian. The whole G thing, both his background and future, was neat. Always cute with Dorian impersonating Klaus.

Naked Courage by Kadorienne
Klaus underestimates his opponent, ending up with only available clothes being a dress. He needs to leave the room, what will he do? He considered preserving a shred of modesty by turning his back, but with Eroica, this was a no-win situation. Very cute. Very Klausian solution. Heh for Dorian getting a nice view - and reason not to give up. Nice humor.

Never Too Late by Terri Botta
Twenty-five years after Klaus and Dorian's first meeting, Dorian still haven't given up. Maybe it's finally time for Klaus to face facts: the fop is really serious about him. And, hopefully, it's never too late. No matter what else happened to him in his life, he knew he could always count on Lord Gloria to be there, and to be his usual intolerable self. Nope, never too late. Well, I'd hope for their sake that they'd get together sooner rather than later, but it would be too sad to think of if they never did, so this was very good. Sweet with Dorian still calling him Major, I like that - but also good that he finally got promoted. That Klaus shared the salve his father taught him to make felt oddly intimate. Hot but intimate in places. Nice epilogue too. Yay for Hans, I liked him and found his presence inspiring. Sad about Dorian's wounds, but not even Eroica's skill could last forever and he got them for a good cause. Several good lines. Poor Dorian for his Christian Dior shirt ...

Not The End of the World by Heather Sparrows
A terrorist deed in Berlin leaves Dorian severely wounded. What happens gives Klaus plenty of things to consider regarding Dorian and their past and he decides that a change is in order. The man in charge now was a bewildered Klaus, who only knew that he wanted the impossible, the unthinkable – to be close to that irritating, hedonistic, impossible creature fighting for his life in the hospital bed before him, to be his friend, to care for him – and deep, deep inside there was a longing for what could not be named – I liked the dreamlike sequence in the beginning. Also the gradual realisation of Klaus, the ways he tries to get closer to Dorian and the way life keeps them apart. Nice language, good feeling despite darker parts. Cute take on how Klaus and Dorian first met. Interesting background on Klaus. I really like Dorian's uncle.

Of friends by genki-blonde
A's wife, Gladys, have a friend. Who she meets with almost daily. A knowns nothing about this friends and finds this very suspicious. When he follows her one day he is in for a surprise. Lately, whenever I smell any goddamned roses, I feel lightheaded and it’s hard to breathe. Cute story. I'm not quite sure what advice is needed for him to land his man (I think the man is rather eager), but it made me smile. Gladys seems nice.

Postcards from Paris by Cassie Ingaben
Vignettes from different times in Dorian's life when he visits Paris. Starts with his early youth and moves forward: different ages, different company, different circumstances, some light and some dark. And yet this small chapel has been Dorian's dream of a perfect place of air and liquid light since when he was a child—long before meeting Klaus, Dorian'd dreamed of taking his beloved here, sharing the living spirit of the stained glass windows, swim in the radiant weightlessness of the lacework treasure chest built to house the relics of the Crown of Thorns. Extraordinarily beautiful language, very vivid. I like how the language of the first ones is suited to Dorian's age. Some was a hint too dark for my general taste, but still interesting, well written and well worth reading. The scene with James was especially poignant (and the setting brought back dear memories). Dorian very well in character and I like his exhibitionist sides showing off so nicely.

Four Ways To A Resolution by Damson Jam
A series of short stories around different meanings of the word 'resolution'. How to solve the problem of them both wanting both the tank and the man in purple, for instance. Klaus making a decision of what to do - and why. Even how different resolutions in how something is shown and how true a tale that may or may not show. He hadn't realised how much work went into fighting the urge until he gave in. I liked several of these stories. The time wasting story I found especially clever, but the last one was also very intimate and sweet. And I love the pragmatic part of Dorian checking the safety. Some nice humor, like the reason for them moving in together.

Snippet # 1 by Kadorienne
Klaus wakes up the morning after he and Dorian had sex for the first time. Now what? This was not the usual Eroica, arch and self-possessed, systematically driving him up the nearest wall... but neither was he the usual Iron Klaus, only a inch away from a killing rage. Both of them seemed unable to summon any of their normal defenses. Nice, intimate tone. I like how understanding Dorian is of Klaus's needs and how careful they are with each other. Sweet end.

Snippets # 6 by Kadorienne
Time and knowing Klaus has changed Dorian. An old conquest meets him and reflects on the change. "The most beautiful closet case you ever saw," he said, sadly and dreamily. Interesting look of Dorian pre- and post-Klaus. Nice language, well written. While they're not together yet, and Dorian seems a hint uncertain or even worried, still hopeful with just a hint of nice angst. True to character, especially considering first volume and Dorian's past.

Snippets # 10 by Kadorienne
Dorian's dilemma. Dorian comes upon a bund and helpless Klaus. Now what will he do? "Thrash me for not taking advantage of you?" Eroica inquired with amusement, and with red-hot irritation, Klaus realized that the thief had him there. Nicely done, shows well Dorian's choice or, perhaps, what Klaus sees as a choice. While I wouldn't want for Dorian to take (too much) advantage of Klaus, the idea itself is rather lovely. Poor Klaus. Heh. It amused me when Dorian refers to something beautiful and Klaus assumes (rightfully) that it is him (Klaus) - I mean, it's obvious from the context, but it still made me smile.

Snippets #19 by Kadorienne
Dorian sees a couple of gorgeous rubies and intends to steal them. Only Major von dem Eberbach tells him not to. Then they are sold and the Eroica gang can't trace them. And on Dorian's birthday there's a very special package for him ... He had wanted to steal them right then, but had made the mistake of enthusing over them to Klaus, who had said, "I would prefer that you not steal them while you're working for me." Such a sweet story, it always makes me smile. Clearly awww-worthy.

Snippets #27 by Kadorienne
Z accidentally stumbles over one of Klaus's more unexpected secrets - the reason for his long hair ... "It's to cover the points of his ears," Z whispered. Very cute snippet that made me giggle out loud the first time I read it.

Snippets #29 by Kadorienne
Dorian finally gets his Major - but he's up for a surprise. The good major isn't as inexperienced with men as Dorian might have imagined. "Dammit, what will it take to get it through that iron skull of yours that I'm in love with you?" While I'm shallow enough that I in general get a kick of Dorian being Klaus's first, what I really want is the end this story gives. Aww ... Nice tension between them.

Snowbound by Cassie Ingaben
Dorian is severely injured and Klaus has to get him back to civilisation. Dorian could distinctly see how the warm blood and the cold snow had mingled, prestine disdainful snowflakes erodes into a red messy goo, a pinkish fluid running while the darkest red core slowly clotted and froze up. Beautiful descriptions, lovely to read. Cute story too, funny in places, nice twist in the end.

Spring Fever by Kadorienne
Klaus offers Dorian one night together - if Dorian after that will leave him in peace and quiet. Dorian agrees, thinking that Klaus won't be able to stay away from him afterwards. but is he right and - regardless, is this really such a good deal after all? But Dorian had not wanted Klaus to look amorous or expectant; if iron were to lose its iron-ness, that would be the end of the world. An interesting premise for a story - and an enjoyable execution of the plot. I especially like the twist in the end, with Dorian being "abused" and Klaus "responsible". Yay for plotting Alphabets. A little sad about Z. A nice dose of humor and several good quotes.

Spring Sequence by Thia
Klaus finally agrees to spend a night with Dorian. In exchange, Dorian will never bother him again. Dorian counts on Klaus having been with Dorian once, won't be able to keep away. Is he right? Or is it the end of them both? But you would never climb a rose trellis when you could storm the battlements. Good voice for the characters and nicely written version of this plot. Hot too. I don't like traded sex much, but it worked out well in the end, so then it's okay for me.

Getting Married IS A Hell In Making by Chemcat
Dorian's worst nightmare come true: he gets invited to Klaus's wedding. But there might still be a possibility of things ending well. As much as he hates to admit it, the police arresting his husband would put a black mark on his record; Dorian is well aware of that. Nice humor, I could see Klaus pulling something like this - and possibly complaining about his decision later, poor man. A little inspiring. Heh for Dorian continuing interfering with Klaus's mission. I also liked his nighttime trip to the Louvre to "admire arts".

The Best Laid Plans by Callahan
Inspired by my story Waiting For The Hammer. It's June and Klaus sends his message to Dorian - Follow the Roses. Klaus has it all planned, how Dorian will now sweep him off his feet. However, Klaus forgot to count with Dorian's ability to interfer with his plans ... "And you should expect that I never give up a mission just because you tried to screw it up." I was, of course, very flattered that anyone would write a story inspired by one of mine. Apart from that I found this to be a good story, which made me even prouder. It might not be the way I would have written a sequel to my story, but again, it works well and is nicely written. Several good lines and in character. Good voice for especially Klaus. I liked how Dorian referred to Klaus's scars as dents on his armor -very well put. Dorian worried enough not to steal - aww, that's love.

Truth by Kadorienne
Dorian is perfect for Klaus in every way. Just the kind of man he always wanted to come home to. Which might be a good thing, only Klaus knows better -if it's too good to be true, it isn't. He knows that someone has put Dorian in his path to seduce him and he can't let that happen. To search out anonymous sex is much safer. Only, is it? And what really is the truth about Dorian? With a show of sincereity worthy of an Oscar, Dorian had lowered his eyes with a shy little smile, and whispered, "Cause I love you." One story with two separate sequels. Both sequels are well written, but The Truth Shall set You Free is my favourite, even if it is a bit darker in part. Very many good lines, well written. Powerfully described emotions. Aww-worthy in several places. Poor Klaus. Well in character. And Dorian really is perfect for Klaus! I liked the comparison of Dorian to a highway man an din burglar catsuit. And the "When this and that happens"-lines. Neat with different sequels. And Klaus is welcome in Sweden.

The Cuckoo's Nest by Cassie Ingaben
Klaus's fiance comes to tell him that she's pregnant - and he's not the father. What part of 'I had a one-night stand and got randomly pregnant' do you not understand? Thoughtworthy story. Klaus well in character. A little sad, especially the references to 'he', but it works well and is an interesting read.

The Devil He Knew by Kadorienne
Klaus and Dorian are captured. Their capturers orders Dorian to rape Klaus - or else they will. What will Dorian do? Keep your trousers zipped, Dieb. Strong story. In character. Interesting solution and I really liked the ending. Normally rape is too dark for me, but the circumstances and the handling makes it a good read. I especially like the Alphabets to the rescue. Nice title too.

The Fifth Season by Heather Sparrows
During the fifth season - Karnival - in the Rhineland area, on Weiberfastnacht, the women rule. Custom have it that women chase a man, cut off his tie and kiss him. G is aiming very high and waits in the office with a scissor. However, Dorian is also in town. His intended prey was the noblest and most attractive of them all, but also the most dangerous - none other than the Major himself. Awww for poor G - but good use of him. I really like how the Alphabet and the Eroica gang hang out together in this one. The part of the story with Klaus and Dorian is also interesting, with good reason for Klaus's misapprehensive regarding Dorian's interest. The story has a warm, friendly tone. The obvious knowledge of the Bonn area also adds a nice, genuine feeling. Dorian is a good sport.

The Gift by Hunter
Eroica steals from the Eberbach collection. Klaus goes to get it back - but at Dorian's German estate he finds something completely unexpected. Atop the hill, bedecked with what seemed like hundres of scarlet roses, sat his long-missed Leopard tank. Sweet story. Poor Klaus, though. Lovely kiss.

The Interview by Whizbang and Yoiko
Crack AU in which Klaus is a football player and Dorian is a fashion reporter sent by his employer (Mr. James, Esq., of the Tattler) to interview him for the World Cup. Due to circumstances Dorian isntead ends up being hired as Klaus's personal massagist. With permission to do a proper, thorough job, but no going under the towel. As it turned out, Mischa had an uncanny ability to drink Vodka like it was water; luckily, Dorian possessed an equally fearsome ability to drink water like it was Vodka. One of my favourit crack AUs. Something of a WIP as they don't reach an end, but long and a fun romp of silliness, but with warmth. Poor Dorian, missing Royal week at Ascots. Aww for the uniform thing, that really makes me smile. Good crack humor. Good use of the canonical characters. I especially like the use of Misca. A bit inspiring. Nice with the people who feel sorry for lost Dorian and help him. Good feeling between Dorian and Klaus, nice bantering.

The Iron Mask by Kadorienne
Klaus gets hit on the head and loses his memory. He wakes up to someone trying to blackmail him for his relationship with Dorian. But if that is the entire story, why does Dorian react so strangely when Klaus wants to get closer to him? God, no wonder Klaus had been willing to risk his career for this: Dorian seemed to find lovemaking with him a religious experience. Very nice, clever story. A good read, but an ever better reread. Klaus's reaction to his amnesia is very Klausian, and Dorian's reaction very amusing. I really enjoyed the descrption of Dorian from Klaus's new point of view, as well as the opposite, like how Dorian looks at him with awe and Klaus being the centre of his universe - again, very nice.

The Lily by Thia
Dorian's birthday is coming up - and someone sends him the way to obtain the Astarte of Adarna, which he has long desired. Is it a trap? What will he find if he dares to go? Klaus had stepped out of the shadows at last: he wore nearly the same sort of cat-burglar suit that Dorian himself preferred, black and black, Magnum deadly at his shoulder. Sweet story that made me smile. Good on both of them. Interesting with Dorian's gang refusing to follow his order at one point, we don't see much of that. Nice echo to canon with the tickets and so on. Several nice touches on Klaus's part. A happy birthday indeed.

The Snitch and the Bludger by Laura Kaye
XO with Harry Potter. 11 year old Klaus takes the Hogwarts express (his mother was a Ravenclaw). On the train he meets a British boy, Dorian, also on his first trip to Hogwarts. Dorian immediately latches on to Klaus and when they get sorted into different houses, Dorian sees no reason to give up his new friend. Dorian's entourage seemed to have grown since breakfast; he was trailing a pair of Ravenclaws and an amused-looking Gryffindor second-year in addition to his knot of Slytherines and Bonham. One of my favourite crossovers for From Eroica With Love. So sweet! I really like how Dorian gets a following and how he disregards the house limits. Neat with Bonham being there too. I really would like more in this universe. Good voice especially for Dorian.

Things Could Be Worse by AnnetheCatDetective
Klaus's father will be visiting. So he hurries home - only to find that his father already has company - Eroica. And, horribly enough, his father seems to like the Earl. "Your friend is very charming..." Amusing story. For some reason I have a soft spot for Papa Eberbach, even when he's a bit oblivious. Aww for Dorian believing in marrying for love. Heeh for Papa Eberbach thinking the "girl" should marry Dorian and also for his suggestion that Klaus should ask if she has a sister. And yes, things could be worse.

What You Wish For by lbc
Klaus goes to Eroica to request his assistance in a mission. To his surprise, Eroica declines. When asked why, he reveals that he has found a new love and while he still likes Klaus, he will no longer follow him around and declare his ove. You'd think Klaus would be very happy about this, but strangely, he isn't. Now what? Hesitating slightly, the ruby lips smiled affectionately and then Dorian continued, "You see, Major Klaus von Eberbach, I have found someone else to shower my adoration and love on, so you see, you are free of me." Cute. Bad Dorian. Poor Klaus. But likely he needs a bit of kick in the butt to get him started. Inspiring story. Especially Dorian well in character (and nicely described) and I could really see him trying something like this.

When did we get old by Ruth Sadelle Alderson
Many years from now, Klaus and Dorian are still not together. Z is the last of the original Alphabets still with Klaus. Klaus finally signs Z's promotion papers. The same night Klaus comes home to find a subdued Dorian waiting for him. Has anything changed? Klaus knew he kissed well; he knew how to do everything he knew how to do well. I like the intimacy of this story. Also the feeling of inevitability, that things will happen when the time is right, a hint of destiny and that there is always hope. Klaus being domestic with the frying potatoes (nice touch) and doing the dishes, also nice. Neat with the comparison of their kisses.

When You Least Expect It by Ruth Sadelle Alderson
Klaus is weakening. He's getting more and more accepting of Dorian. One evening he does something Dorian still does not at all expect. "But, Klaus, I would never see you if I stayed away from the KGB." I like the ease with which they flow together in this story and how smoothly things develops, naturally like. But also that Klaus does things when he's good and ready to do them. And the hint humor.

	The Losers Disclaimer and information My favourite movie, I adore it.

Stumblr Fics by vodkaanddebauchery added 141124
Bucky sees his girlfriend and embraces her from behind - only he's not embracing his girlfriend, but a rather thin man. Maybe it's just as well? In another story, Jake Jensen wants to kiss Cougar, but dares not. So he does somethiing else. And Coulson has ascended to Geek Nirvana ... For Chrissakes, Jensen needs to remove himself from this situation before he does something monumentally stupid, like lay one on his very Catholic, very likely straight, very likely heteronormative teammate. Several cute stories that made me smile. Good emotion. Good voice for especailly Jensen, and cute how he bought Mojito.

You're Not Losers, You're Idiots by jujitsuelf added 141124
Cougar ended up flirting with a woman - and Jensen flirted with a guy and now they're not talking: and miserable. This effects the other Losers as well, until Clay has no choice but to interfere. "Okay, start talking because the pair of you are staying in there till you’re all lovey-dovey and disgustingly happy again." Heh, cute. And feels like something that could happen with our dear Losers. Poor Clay ...

Knock Knock by amaresu added 141113
What made the Losers the Losers is the silliest Knock Knock joke Jensen once told. It's special; it binds them; it's worth sonmething. will Aisha get the joke? Bolivia is a dark and empty place for them all, but Clay can't help but think that something might've gone differently if he'd just turned to Roque one night and said, “Knock knock.” Awww, so cute. Nice crack and it works well for the Losers. In character. Neat with the morse whistling. Moo motherfucker indeed. Cute details. Also I liked the Pratchett bit - I do own the Where's My Cow-book.

Leaving by Saral_Hylor added 141013
There's nothing that ties Cougar to the Losers. Roque might not have been their anchor, but they just don't gel any more. So he has to leave. The only thing he regrets is that Jensen isn't there to say goodbye when he leaves. What will happen? He's in his car, engine going, when the passenger door is thrown open with such vigour that Cougar's surprised it doesn't come off it's hinges entirely. Sweet story that made me smile. A little awww-worthy. Good ending.

The Long-Distance Call by busaikko added 140926
Cougar gets kidnapped, buried alived in a coffin, and it's Jensen to the rescue. Only prior to this Jensen has quite often asked Cougar to marry him. When afterwards Cougar is more amenable, Jensen fears it's just out of gratitude. Is it? Jensen knew how to time a joke to make Cougar's mouth curl up in a smile, and Cougar would disappear into Anna's kitchen and cook the kinds of dinners that made Jensen propose marriage compulsively. Heh for Jensen being Cougar-bait and "a finder of lost Cougars". I liked the view from Cougar on his feelings for Jensen.

Tricksters by joidianne4eva added 140915
When Steve got the serum, the extra strength and speed wasn't all he gained. He also split in three. In the future he wakes up -and finds his brothers with him: Johnny Storm of the Fantastic Four and Jake Jensen of the Losers. They're not exactly human any longer: connected telephatically and especially Jensen there's something ... darker. Luckily, Cougar likes the dark. Carlos wasn’t sure if it was because he was aroused or still afraid, then again his love for Jensen had always outweighed his fear of him. Very interesting set-up. Good crossover. The Tricksters sounds interesting and I intend to check it out. Nice connection between the brothers. Good dashes of humor. Interesting take on Jensen babble. I like the idea of Jensen having darker qualities, it fits him. A universe I would like to read more in. Aww for Cougar thinking Jensen didn't want him any longer. Good use of Max and I don't quite like Aisha, so I didn't mind her role in it. Some nice turns of phrase. I liked Tony in this one, also Cougar's connection to Roque. Heh for Tony being used to Clint's sudden appearances, so Jensen's doesn't bother him.

Jensen's Day Out (with Superheroes) by pprfaith added 130903
The Losers are on a mission, as usual. What is not so usual is that the bad guys they're fighting have snakeskins. Luckily, a small blond chick shows up who knows how to kill the freaks. Jensen's impressed (and possibly a bit horny). Why is Cougar so annoyed by that? And who is the blond chick - not to mention, why is she calling Clay 'Uncle'? He breaks their necks with his boot and moves on, whirling, ducking, spinning, killing, and Jensen knew Cougar was deadly, but he’s never seen the sniper in close range combat like this, has never seen him like this, period, because Cougar is furious and cleaning up the whole damn place by himself and then the last guy goes down and he rounds on Clay and punches him in the face, no fanfare, no warning. Fundraiser fic for the AO3, which I might have won. Since I specified it (and betaed it), it's hardly surprising I like it, but apart from having badass Cougar being very good at killing monsters, which I really wanted, I think the story in itself is good, well-written with good humor and a nice, working balance between Buffy and the Losers. Heh for Buffy and Rogue bonding over weapons and for Jensen saying his thoughts out loud. All well in character. Yay for Cougar being the most terrifying thing in the world.

What Happens In Vegas by jujitsuelf"> added 130903
Cougar is a hitman. Once a year he treats himself ot a trip to Vegas. At his hotel works a talkative young man by the name of Jensen. Unexpectedly, Cougar starts thinking things he normally never do. Glasses had never been a turn on for him before but suddenly they were the hottest thing in the whole of Vegas and Cougar longed to take them off and see those blue eyes dilate and go a little unfocused as he kissed that incredible mouth. Well in character despite the AU. A nice AU, interesting interaction. Good feeling between the boys, hot sex and a feeling of growth. It reads a bit like the first part of a greater arch. I would love to read more in this universe. I also like Cougar's attitude towards masturbation in this universe.

Secrets by symbioticdeath added 130903
Everyone has secrets. Jake's secret is a bit special - he can read people's minds, even walk in their dreams. Lately, though, he's been sloppy around the team sniper, as if he subconsciously wants Cougar to find out. "I bet Sookie Stackhouse doesn't have to put up with this shit," Jensen mumbled to himself as he exited the house. Interesting story plot and fresh idea. Sweet with Cougar sleeping with him when he gets cold, I really like that idea. Nice intimacy between them. I would have loved to read more in this universe. I also liked how they interacted after the explosion, with Cougar sticking close to Jensen. The Zombies thing made me smile.

Wounded Tiger by symbioticdeath added 130903
When he is ill, Jensen is difficult to deal with. His sister has to leave, so she calls for Cougar to help him. But last time they saw each other was a bit awkward. Can the boys find themselves again? And he felt even more helpless because all he wanted was a Stupid Mexican Sniper to cuddle him until he felt like he wasn't going to die. Awww ... sweet. Silly hacker. The story made me smile.

And now might be the time for a colorful metaphor by ThecyborgThatCould added 130903
Cougar's family is very, very, very supportive of him being gay. Only one small snag - Cougar really likes girls and he's rather baffled by his family's behavior. Only, then comes along Jensen and ... oh holy mother of fuck, what the hell is happening in Cougar's pants? His father tells him that he is proud of his decision to infiltrate the industrial-military complex and effect change from the inside out, hands him a book on military law and gives him a firm pat on the shoulder. Lovely plot idea. Great humor and well executed. Lots of good details. I was smiling throughout the story. Awww, poor Cougar ... Nice family, I especially liked his father. Interesting story with Cougar moving through the military. Good language, several good quotes. Heh for the classified military operation thing -and, yes, of course - do it for the goats, Cougar! Again, poor Cougar with his Operation Mojo really not going well for him. So sweet. As a Swede, the Swedish conspiracy amused me. Nice end.

Handcuffs by Marvinetta added 130903
Jensen and Cougar are friends with benefits, but Cougar has made clear that he still wants to sleep with girls. Only, when women shows interest in Jensen, Cougar doesn't like it. Jensen notices and does not like the double standard. When Cougar leaves him stranded with girls, Jensen comes back to their room to have a serious talk - and he brings handcuffs. Cougar felt a moment's panic at being essentially helpless and nearly spread-eagled, but then he felt Jensen's hands on his back again, massaging gently. I like Jensen giving Cougar an ultimatum. Good emotion and I could see the boys ending up in this situation. Also hot. I do like Jensen on top, especially with a nearly helpless Cougar, a bit of kink of mine. Nice little humor too.

'ohule by James
XO with H50. The Losers are holing up in Hawaii, pretending to be starting up a computer store. One day a local detective enters their store to ask about some gang bangers that had showed up gift-wrapped with evidence. Clay doesn't know anything about this - until he sees how innocent Cougar looks. At least this guy probably wasn't a royal prince who would mistake Jensen's flirting for a marriage proposal. Awww. Cute crossover. I love Clay reading non-verbal Jensen and Cougar's gestures. Also the explanation for Danny being there and the card at the end. Oh, and I'd love to read the royal prince story. Very cute overall.

A Bright Star And A Dark Star by Kalelle
After the helo crash, Cougar isn't in the mood for sex. Jensen is understanding at first, but as time goes on he starts blaming hmself and feels more and more insecure. Cougar is oblivious. How do you tell someone that you are a satellite around their world? Lovely angst. Good example of that a story doesn't have to "show not tell" - telling is an excellent tool when used properly, as it is here. Nice stream of thoughts. Very many good sentences, especially considering the length of the story. I like the ending, nice touch.

A Cry For Help by Pistol
Cracky AU in which Cougar is a young lawyer. He is hired by Clay to help with some restraining orders. When he comes to Clay's company he's met by Clay's secretary - Jensen, who takes a liking to him. "Also, I feel the need to point out for legal and non-legal reasons that I've never had sex, consensual or otherwise, with Jensen." AU. Very funny. I really liked it. Poor Clay. Well, a bit of poor Cougar too, but very nice ending. I'm normally not much for AUs, but this was very cute, I smiled almost all the way through.

A Handful of Ash by Cougar's Catnip
When Jolene married Pooch, she gained an entire family of Losers. Now, thinking all but herself and Jensen's relatives dead, she thinks of the others and remembers them. Never play pool with a sniper, you won't win. Lovely, warm story, aww-worthy in places. It has a nice, genuine feel, also feel-good. Short, but contains very much for its length. I loved the parts about Cougar.

A Loser's Touch by Cryselephantine
Some cute short stories from the life of the Losers, ending in the Losers vs. Mary Sue. yes, the Losers are joined by Mary Sue in all her perfect glory. Now what do they do? Started out in Navy training, shipped out to Irak, helped Mossad, helped cull the insurgents, shipped to Afghanistan, helped the Green Berets, the SEALs, trained Black Ops, trained sniper recruits, hacked into the White House mainframe to prove a point about security risks, oh she loves knives and making things go boom apparently… and volatile men… While I liked the other stories (heh for the A-Team reference) the Mary Sue story is beautiful. Anya'Bella Seryna Mae Bloom-Launter is an excellent sample of her breed. As with so many slashers who's been around for a while, nearly nothing is so annoying to me as a Mary Sue and it was very nice to see her get her just due.

A Mission Like No Other by duchess93309
Fourth of July and The Loser's new mission is ... to shop for dinner. The look of quiet relief in Cougar's eyes makes Jensen's determinatin to get the watermelon even greater. WIP and a bit gennish as of yet (though I hope for a slashy continuation), but cute either way. It made me smile, which is precious to me.

And Bugs Bunny Is Totally A Cross-Dresser by SandyQuinn
Pooch notices that Jensen often compares himself and Cougar to fictional couples with homosexual tension. Like Pinky and the Brain. Of course anyone could see that Jensen and Cougar liked to hang out: Jensen filled out the silence with his babbling easily, never even uncomfortable with Cougar's silence, and Cougar in turn obliged to Jensen's insanity and never ever told him to shut up. Sweet. Short, but tightly written. Good lines. I loved especially the Pinky and the Brain one. Awww, especially for Cougar playing along or derailing the antics.

Applied Force by Pistol
Cougar can't say the three little words to Jensen, but that's okay. Cougar knows that Jensen knows that Cougar would do anything he wants, including killing, damning his soul and betraying his country - lay the bodies of enemies at his feet or conquer the world for him. With a few keystrokes and a handful of your bullets, Jensen could bring an empire to its knees. Absolutely wonderful story. A hint of delicious darkness. Believable and very nicely done. Many good lines. Inspiring (I had already written a good deal on a story I'm working on when I read this, but on reading this I felt reaffirmed in my belief that my story would work). I would love to read more in this universe. Sweet to have such unconditional love. I like seeing Jensen underestimated and this is a lovely way of showing how much more he is. They would make a good team of anything.

As Brothers We Will Stand by melodious329
Pooch, Clay and Rogue are teenagers, livingon the streets and taking care of one another. Then one day they run into eight-year-old Jake and he becomes part of their little gang. And one day Jensen finds a young spanish boy sneaking about the roof tops. They find out he's looking for his fathe'rs killer. Th eteam sets out to help him. Where will it end? Well, you’re lying up here like a cat on a branch, like a…cougar, yeah, a cougar! Interesting set-up. Well in character despite their agest and very cute as kids. Lovely Jensen babble. Awww for Jensen naming Cougar. Good echoes to their adult selves. While I did enjoy the bit where they were young, my favourite part was the later part, it was so nice, almost moving, to see them come together again.

Bang by rispacooper
Jensen's mouth gets him in trouble again - this time at a very unfortunate moment - in bed with Cougar. When he can get his head off the pillow, he will worry about that like he'll worry about the silence from across the room, or the empty space on this cheap, seriously questionable motel bed that had been full of a panting Cougar a second ago. Fun, hot, a hint of angst, yet loving. I've read of fisting before, but I think this is the only story I've read that focuses mainly on it, and that I still liked this much. Intimate, but intense, well in character (especially Jensen) and I like the humor.

Be Gentle by Symbioticdeath
Jensen gets hurt - again - and Cougar has to patch him up - again ... By the end of his first month he followed Cougar everywhere and the sniper had started to do Jensen's laundry since the blonde was lost when it came to household applicances. Sweet story with several neat details. I loved how Jensen booked the room as "J. Alvarez". And the candy bribery. And kissing things better and Cougar humming. Also Cougar having a convenient lockpick.

Beer Before Liquor by Marvinetta
The gang goes out for a night in a bar, when Jensen accuses Cougar of cock-blocking him. Afterwards, he takes Cougar with him home and the explanation for the cock-blocking leads to drunk confessions and interesting developments. With his head against the hard tile, Jensen started going through things he could possibly say to make things not be completely fucked up when he saw Cougar again. Nice story, the events unfolds well. I like the interaction between them, the moments of insecurity and how it all pans out. Cute misunderstandings and hot sex.

Big Cats by Symbioticdeath
Jensen reads that Calvin Klein's Obession attracts big cats. So he tries it out. Of course, the big cat in mind is plenty obsessed with Jensen already. "I am his," Cougar stated it simply, like it was supposed to be common knowledge. Cute story. Cougar fooling Jensen by ditching the hat really amused me. And him following Jensen around in the first place. Heh for Jensen capturing Cougar in bed. Several good quotes.

Blind Man's Bluff by vestigialwords
For Jensen, Cougar is prepared to bet everything - even his hat. Jensen's eyes flashed with something that looked like gratitude, the sadness tumbling out of them, and a huge stupid grin coming over his face. Awww. So sweet. Greather love hath no man. Fun story, it made me smile. It really fits Cougar. The others also nicely in character.

Bring It On, Losers by Lex_Munro
The Losers meet up, one at a time joining Clay, aka the king of the Losers, slowly building the team - and when Jensn joins in he's just Cougar's type ... But experience had taught him that—learning experiences be damned—he needed to tattle on Jensen at the earliest signs of misbehavior, because the kid had zero fear of Roque (and conversely Roque had a healthy fear of a certain sniper who would probably do unspeakable things to him if he ever carried out his threats). The story in itself is good, a very satisfying team building story, showing off everyone's personalities well - especially Roque, Cougar and (in the second part) Jensen. That part was interesting and a nice read. I loved the notes section, with all the explanation. I'm not very knowledgeable about American military, so that I found very educational. It felt as if the writer knows what he's talking about - or did considerable research, yet didn't drop it in the story, so very good. The budding romance story I greatly enjoyed - and the stalking!Jensen was very funny. Good humor, well balanced and well done.

By daybreak we'll be gone by storm_petrel
Clay is a born werewolf. He bites Roque and a bit later they pick up Pooch and Cougar. By then the pack is so large they need a tech. They find the perfect candidate, but Cougar's reaction to him is too strong, so they let him go. Not a good solution. Now what? "You know," Roque says, "Given the fact that he's the best tech we've had yet, and incidentally, the first one I haven't wanted to murder slowly, and given the fact that our sniper is ridiculously fucking attached to him, I really think you should get him back." Nice building-the-team-story. It works well for me, everyone nicely in character. I like the rescue-Jensen adventure and the way the attraction between Cougar and Jensen is described. Awww for the coffee thing. Nice read.

Cambion 'verse by sly_hostetter
Jensen is a Cambion, a half-Incubus. He needs physical contact in order to survive. Everyone's withdrawal after the chopper is very difficult for him. For now he's going to let Cougar cuddle him to death, or sleep, whichever comes first. Interesting idea and I really like how the others take care of Jensen when they realise what he needs - aww-worthy, even. I would have loved to read some of the scenes a bit expanded - they work well as it is, but feels a hint abbreviated when some more details would have been even juicier. I would love to read more in this universe.

Catalyst by lady_krysis
Roque and Jensen are in a cave, when Jensen starts acting stranger. Humping Roque's leg-stranger. It turns out Jensen is poisoned and might die if he doesn't get off - and masturbating doesn't help. Look, Roque, the important thing is I really, really need you to fuck me. Good choice for Roque to be the other man here, gives a nice twist. I would have liked to read a bit more about the situation, what actually happened and what will happen, it reads a bit like a take-out from a longer story and I'm always greedy to read more. Still, interesting pair, interesting premis. I like Fuck or die situations, they are neat.

Cockfight by kisahawklin
Cougar is a captive who fights others to survive. He's the reigning champion, of course. Fighting is all he remembers. One day, they bring in a new man as his opponent, a tall blond who talks a lot ... He remembers vaguely there were people outside these walls, but he can't exactly remember who they are or why he should care. Interesting concept and I like the slightly more primal version of Cougar. I greatly enjoy him being a superior fighter - it feels so true. Jensen being a good fighter is also nice. And I like the sudden blowjob. Both well in character.

Cougar Is A Serial Killer or Don't Touch The Hat by Dark Seductress
You don't touch Cougar's hat. You seriously don't touch Cougar's hat. Because if you do, bad, bad things happen. Or beautiful things, according to Roque. Jensen may or may not get a little turned on. Jensen, the only living witness to the incident (and he has the feeling Cougar only kept him alive, despite being a team-mate, to tell the tale, so no one would EVER touch the Hat again), couldn't help muttering, "Bad move, fucker. You never touch that Hat." Cougar and his hat are awesome. I love stories when he is so protective: the more protective the better. And I like him being a total badass. This is a good story for this - and highly amusing. The whole Roque crying at the beauty of Cougar's carnage made me smile. Though I think possibly a bit of Pooch's theory that Jensen might have been in danger might also have added a little. Nice description of our special snowflakes. I like the Princess Bride reference. Good language, especially for Jensen. Nice end.

Chained To You by sch
Jensen hacks where he shouldn't - and are sent to die by his superiors. He's found by Cougar, though not really "rescued", as Cougar also wants something for him. A slightly insane Cougar is willing to break Jensen to get what he wants. He doesn't quite manage to break him, though, instead they fall in a very dependant kind of love with each other. Later they meet up with the other Losers. WIP. "He sewed my lips together when I was annoying." Lovely angst in both diretions, obsessive love, strength and independence. Considerable humor and an interesting, unusual story that keeps you guessing. I hope for more in this series!

Crossed Wires by kisahawklin
A series of vignettes from the life of the Losers - relaxing with knitting, baking and a Star Trek party in which Jensen picks everyone's costume. "Okay, Cougs," Jensen said, grinning his stupid grin, the one that meant he was likely to get shot soon, "It's Uhura for you." Great idea with the knitting. I really liked that. Awww for Cougar being so game for Jensen's antics - but the end result do seem hot.

Cupid with a KA-Bar by super_seme04
Jensen wants to court Cougar. However, he's not quite sure as to the best strategy. Possibly he shouldn't have asked Roque for advice - though maybe Roque is good at the whole courting thing after all. Cougar is bemused by the gun oil strapped to the milk, but there is a small smile on his face as he frees it. Aww for Jensen doodling Mr and Mr Alvarez on things. Cute story with a nice dash of humor. Roques suggestions for courting was rather cute too. And awww for him making Clay prettier cupcakes.

Cyclophobia, I hope not by sch
Jensen crashes into the Losers' lives. He sees Cougar, likes what he sees and takes him for a ride. A stunned Cougar was sitting on the bike, between Jensen's outstretched arms, holding on to the kid in an attempt to survive this. I really love the idea of Jensen falling for Cougar instantly - and taking what he wants. Borderline non-con in a way I really like - and I think if Cougar really hadn't wanted Jensen, our dear wild cat has claws. Beautiful in character for especially Jensen. Very cute idea of cyclophobia too, and overall.

Dry Socks and Hospitals by Pistol
Jensen is shot, badly. As he bleeds (in a very manly red pool of blood, not at all a sissy Petunia-pink one), he considers his life choices. In retrospect, he could have made some other ones; had another life, some for the better and some for the worse. The carefully blank expression mixed with wild eyes tend to mean shit-has-hit-the-fan-so-Cougar-is-gonna-shoot-anything-that-isn't-Jensen-shaped. Very interesting, several good lines. I really liked Cougar's reaction and the co-dependency. A little dark, but a very nice read. A little aww-worthy in places, one of them being Cougar "mistaking" Jensen's laptop for a Chechnyan. Humorous.

Email Archive #300-08-B by katemonkey
An encrypted email conversation between Jensen and his sister between Bolivia and when they see each other again. She wanted to bring home his dogtags to keep with yours. Several nice details. Aww for "El Gato" - though all the nick names were great. The dogtags thing really made me melt. I also found the doll very sweet. And the accidental outing made me smile. Interesting format, fun and different.

Every Mark Has Its Meaning by kisahawklin
Jensen thinks that Cougar must have a tattoo and he wants to find out where. When they get each other off the first time, in the mud and boredom of Columbia, Jensen thanks his lucky star for the handjob and the feel of Cougar's breath against his face. Sweet story with intimacy. I like them both and especially Jensen's happiness due to their budding relationship. I would have loved more, but it works very well as it is.

Excelsior! by Saone
Superheroes are emerging, Superman, Batman and so on. Of course, some Superheroes, such as Batman, does not, in fact, have super powers. Jake gets a great idea - the team becomes super heroes (or anti-heroes). Meet Colonel, Gearshaft, Saber, Caliber and Binary. And the only thing that can distract Jensen, besides shiny object, are the scary thoughts that rise up, Lovecraftian-like, from the dark recesses of his mind. Fun story to follow the building of a group of anti-heroes from idea to costumes. Well in character, highly amusing. A large number of neat lines. Seems like the first part of a larger work - I would love to read some more in this universe.

Eye of the Beholder by sin
Why does the bad guys always think Jensen is the weakest link? Now Cougar's in trouble and Jensen to the rescue. I found this killer kitten while I was shooting all the bad guys, can I keep him? Cute. It made me smile to read. And I love Jensen being underestimated and rescuing Cougar.

Feliz Navidad by symbioticdeath
Another team borrows Cougar - and leaves him behind for dead ... Will he make it home in time for Christmas? C'mon, Cougs, let's get you to your Jensen. Sweet Christmas story, nice group-feeling (both Team and Jensen family). Several good lines. I do like the fuck-buddies situation that (hopefully) changes to something more, that's a kink of mine.

Field of Stone by LadyJanelly
Cougar is a mutant, capable of turning into a cat. Mutants are kept as slaves and put to whatever use anyone wants of them. Cougar is assigned as a sniper to the Losers. He doesn't expect anything else from them than what he has received from anyone else. Jensen has no intention to treat him as anything less than human. "Is there a problem, officers?" he asks, even though it's probably more accurate to ask what the hell Jensen's done this time. Strong story on an interesting subject. Well written, with lovely tension. Some dark parts, which I normally tend to shy away from, but treated very well. Beautiful description of Cougar's cat form. Very strong when Cougar offers Jensen that he doesn't need to use the restraints, that really made me go awww ...

Four Pair of Eyes From Now On by SCH
The team gets cursed into seeing their spirit animals. Of course, Cougar was always able to see his spirit animal - for the others it's a bit more of a surprise. Perhaps Cougar didn't quite count on a few things either. Cougar got goose bumps all over when Jensen started petting the cougar, and suddenly there were two pair of throats purring at the stimulation. Cute. And as fan fic has taught us - spirit animals (especially wolves) always approve of slash pairings. Nice selection of animals. I would like to read more in this universe, it sounds very interesting. I like Cougar's matter of fact reaction to (mostly) everything.

Gunpoint by stalkerhinata
Cougar finds his prey and soon has it at his mercy. Now what will he do with it? Cougar took a moment to answer, briefly distracted by the lips moving around the barrel of his gun. Cute interaction between them. I could see Cougar playing around a bit and Jensen going with the flow. Hot, but with a nice dash of humor. Nice language. Awww for Jensen fearing the hat being missing. Several good lines, especially considering the length of the fic.

Hat, Chapeau, Sombrero by duchess93309
Before he got the hat, Cougar had a black ball cap. This is the story of what happened to that cap and how he came to have the hat he wears now. Jolene watches as Cougar's composure slips a fraction at the death of his hat. Warm, touching story. I really like this idea and the ending is just great. Awww-worthy.

Hearts by symbioticdeath
Jensen pranks Roque. When Roque hunts him he hides in the least likely place - in the shower with Cougar. Cougar drank until he was brave enough to sneak into Jensen's bed. Funny story, it made me smile several times. Many nice lines too and I love the hiding in the shower scene.

Homefront by katemonkey
After Bolivia, with the Loser's "dead", Jolene meets up with Jensen's sister. They share their memories of the team - and help each other through life. But they start wondering if the boys really are dead. "Cougar ended up being my maid of honor." Heartening story of friendship and support. Lots of lovely details. Awww for Internet access in heaven (and, for the record, I hope so). A pleasant read that made me smile as I read it.

I'm Just A Soul (Whose Intentions Are Good) by Storm_Petrel
Jensen's behavior towards Cougar changes, but Cougar is a bit oblivious. Suddenly Jensen is there, "within his bizarre new one-meter orbit of Cougar", but he never actually says anything. Until it is nearly too late. And it should be strange, but it's Jensen, Jensen's hand on his body, Jensen whos been orbiting him for months, Jensen who he'd die for, Jensen who suddenly makes a hell of a lot more sense. Awww ... So sweet with Jensen's awkward courting, Cougar oblivious, the little adventure in the middle and an absolutely lovely ending. Very sweet, I do have an extremely weak spot for first time stories, especially if (at least) one of the guys has never been with another man before - and especilly nummy if he's never even considered it.

In Which Cougar Always Looks by Resonant
Series of scenes in which Cougar is told not to look - but he always does. And then he gets together with Jensen - and he can look all he wants. I meant, I don't do this with - with guys I - Cougar, with you. Cute. Nice feeling in the story and the boys getting together. Nicely in character. Sweet with Jensen having Cougar's back. A little awww-worthy.

Inside There's An Army Waiting (For Their Marching Orders From You) by storm_petrel
Jensen is killed in a horrible accident. The other Losers are crushed with grief. Then they hear screaming when Jensen storms out of the morgue ... One by one, the Losers die - but they keep coming back. Colonel, I woke up in a body bag, please can we make it so that never happens again? Interesting idea, nice setup. I would like to read more in this universe. Nice emotions. I really like the idea of the boys continuing and not easily dying. Inspiring. Wow for Cougar and razor blades in his hair, that's brave!

Inside Your Head the Sound of Glass by cm
Clay is an insane serial killer. His preferred victim are blond men. In the nuthouse, though, he meets Jensen, and everything changes. They flee and starts killing together. One day, they pick up a hitch hiker named Roque. In the madhouse what Clay likes to dscribe as the worst eight month of his life: they drugged him up and once in a while someone came in to ask him ifhe still felt the need to tear people to shreds. Very interesting. Different, yet nicely done. Not a pairing I normally read much in, but it worked very well in this story. I would like to read more in this universe. All right, mostly I'm into Jensen/Cougar, but in my mind if Clay can have Roque, then Jensen can have Cougar. I especially liked Jensen in this one.

Insomnio by James
In the military, everyone in a team notices everything about everyone else. Jensen and Cougar's relationship is no secret and when Cougar's insomna is getting worse, Clay turns to Jensen to get something done about it. But is that the full story? He's pretty sure it took them a few days to figure it out, if only becaue he tended to crawl into bed around three in the morning and Cougar tended to crawl out of it at six. Very nicely done story. Good set up in the beginning of how they knew everything about each other and then working to the surprise at the end. Several nice quotes and amusing bits. I liked the part about Cougar going to therapy. Very sweet between Cougar and Jensen, though a little sad about the others in the end. Though still awww. And lovely, very hot image of Cougar in only his hat and a holster.

Impersonation by Resonant
Jensen needs to go to a gay bar to get some information. He has to pretend he's gay, so he practices on Pooch and Cougar. With Pooch it doesn't go very well, but with Cougar things go almost too well ... Cougar felt strong and hot in his arms, and when Jensen said, "Aw, fuck, Cougar, yes," Cougar folded gracefully to his knees. Awww, poor Cougar. I like this type of stories a lot, of them having to pretend to be gay and have an epiphany. This one was sweet. Nice humor, I really liked Jensen not thinking of Pooch as Jolene might shoot him, and Pooch joking about Cougar being better at cocksucking as he's better at things with his mouth that requires not talking. What I really liked, because I'm a bit twisted that way, was Cougar on his knees. Not just cocksucking like an expert, but apparently expecting to get hurt - lovely little twitch of angst there.

Let Me Go by Cougar's Catnip
Everything is over and things go back to normal. Cougar and Jensen are civilians. Jensen has plenty of job offers, but Cougar doesn't see a future for himself. Also, it is time for him to leave, as he thinks Jensen deserves much better than him - and Cougar hasn't even told him that he loves him (because he thinks Jensen is straight). So he goes - but what will Jensen do about it? Jake was straight as an arrow and Carlos didn't think he could bear to see the disgust that was sure to be there if he admitted the truth of his feelings. Sweet story. Lovely angst, good emotion. Aww-worthy here and there. Good ending. Some funny lines too. A little inspiring.

Let Me Perish young by tigriswolf
AU crossover The Losers/Supernatural, in which Jensen is a daywalker, the only get of who might be the oldest vampire in the world, Castiel. Convinced that Max is a vampire, he calls in his sire to help - and faces telling the truth to his team. Cougar has watched over Jensen for five years, has thought of Jensen first as a foolish cub in need of protection and then as a possible mate. I don't like AUs much, but this one's interesting. I do like the notion of Jensen being much more than he seems and the others' reaction is very interesting, as we get to see from several perspectives. Feels like the first part of a much longer work that would be very nice to read.

Life Affirmations by emocezi
Cougar is nearly killed and reaffirmes life by mapping Jensen's body. In doing so he skirts the limits of what Jensen can endure. Jensen's face is screwed up with what looks like pain, but if it were, Jensen would be calling him Carlos and attempting to kick him in the head. Life affirmation sex is a good plot. What makes this story stand out is Jensen's sensitivity, Cougar's kinks and their interesting relationship. Hot, yes, but also with a bit of sweetness.

Like A Blessing by Pistol
Cougar loses his entire unit - but is rescued by the Losers, who helps put him back together again (at least a little bit). Roque, Pooch and Clay need something to take their mind off their own problem - Jensen is missing, presumed dead. Only, is he really dead ...? Yes, their sanity may be held together by 100-mph duct tape and spit, but it works for them. WIP. Normally I'm not much for WIP, but one of my major fandoms and one of my favourite writers in this fandom, so I couldn't resist. I like the premise very much and very hopeful for a continuation. Very nicely described emotions. Poor Cougar. Many good lines. Everyone well in character. Aww for the guys helping Cougar shower. Nooch for Jensen being good at fighting with a laptop. The hooker thing always has me smiling. And the many group hugs. And the Team Jacob thing. And the Tamagotchii. Lots of things, really.

Little Things by symbioticdeath
Jensen joins the Losers and transforms their house to a home with many little details. He especially gets domestic with Cougar. A few days later, Pooch had noticed that Cougar had started to follow Jensen everywhere. Sweet story that made me smile. Several good details. Heh for Jensen tripping Rogue for the zombies.

Locked, Loaded and Ready To Roll by catwalkalone
Cougar sucks Jensen's cock like he handles his gun. With hot intensity and utter dedication. Jensen is not complaining. However, there might also be more. Jensen knows then, with gut-busting precision, that he'll let Cougar do anything he wants, as freaky as that might get. Lovely story, really hot, intense sex, but handles the developing relationship with an elegant touch. Well in character, a good read.

Loser/Leverage Xover Verse by emocezi
The Leverage team is relaxing at the pub, when someone suddenly grabs Elliot from behind. Not a good idea ... Not even if you are Jake Jensen of the Losers. You broke my nose and you won't give me apology cuddles. I love crossovers and just the idea of The Losers (my favorite movie) and Leverage (one of my favorite TV shows) had me smiling. The title promised - and the story delivered. I was a bit worried at first by the title that it would be Leverage-centric, at the cost of The Losers, as many crossovers tend to favor one fandom above the other, but this was very nice! Aww ... I can so vividly see what happens, it "works", poor Jensen ... Both well in character, I smiled through most of the story, good ending too. Great.

Loser Poker by plingo_kat
All the Losers are gay (or bi) and they used to have orgies. When they got tired of that they made up Losers Poker, where they bet sexual favours (Pooch doesn't play for real). Aisha makes Jensen explain when she overhears. It was all an auditory hallucination? Cute story, it just made me smile to read. Betting gun's interesting enough, but this would really be interesting to lose. A game you can play either to win or lose.

Loser Say What by Creed_Cascade
Cougar's away and Jensen has a fight with Roque. Pooch talks to Jensen afterwards and Jensen's insecurities regarding his and Cougar's relationship are among the issues. I'm surprised it's lasted this long and call me a sucker ... sorry, I can't help it, but call me a romantic, but I'll take whatever Cougar's willing to give me. Lovely story. Everyone well in character. Very humorous, yet touches serious, interesting subjets. Great hints of angst, a bit of self-sacrifice and lots of love. Very nice read overall. I only wish for more. The superglue thing always makes me smile. Several awww-moments.

Lost In Translation by freneticfloetry
After Jensen nearly gets killed, Clay orders Jensen to learn Spanish. From Cougar. Jensen isn't very good with learning Spanish, but Cougar is patient - and might have secondary motives for his willingness to act the teacher. Those dark eyes flash with razor-sharp focus, and for a split second, all Jensen knows is what it's like to be prey. Cute story. Aww for them singing. Jensen's obliviousness is adorable. Cute with Cougar hiding on top of a plane. Clay's reason for why it must be Jensen who learns Spanish was really sweet - also awww-worthy.

Magic Carpet Ride by Marvinetta
Cougar drinks beer spiked with acid and Jensen has to take care of him when he goes on a trip. Resting his head against Jensen's shoulder, Cougar silently watched Jensen type, occasionally raising a finger to trace things on the screen. High!Cougar is sweet and I enjoyed the way Jensen (drunk himself) takes care of him. Amusing and very sweet.

Maldita Toalla by kaitlia777
Jensen has to play a role and to do so he shaves. Cougar likes the change. That Jensen is fresh from the shower in only a towel doesn't hurt either. What was uncommon was the fact that he was staring at his teammate and had a stranglehold on the barrel of his rifle. Very nice description of Jensen. And I like Cougar's reaction. Also the description of their little dance. Hot, though with a nice dash of humour.

Maybe We're Not Meant To Be by Marvinetta
Cougar and Jensen are fuck buddies, but Jensen is getting tired of that Cougar seems to consider him a dirty secret. Finally he has had enough and breaks it off. Only Cougar loved him all along, of course. He didn't want to give a name to the feeling when he'd swallowed his pride and asked Jensen to stay, only to have the younger man turn away. Lovely angst, nicely written. I love this type of misunderstandings, strong feelings on both side-angst. Aww ... Overall a sweet read. Both nicely in character.

Mind Drug by sch
Jensen and Cougar are captured and Cougar given a drug that turns him primal, torn only between lust and violence. Jensen has to deal with that his best friend wants to either kill him or rape him. One false move and Cougar would tear his throat out, or fuck him through the floor -- both were equally unwelcome right now. Okay, so I'm just a little kinky this way, but this kind of non-con I really like. Primal Cougar, still in synch with his Jensen and Jensen doing his best to get through a bad situation, strong enough to bend rather than break - and in the end it isn't as non-con as it seems at first. Many lovely lines, in character, nice. I wish there were more, but a very nice, lovely read.

Minus the Form Fitting Leather Suit by symbioticdeath
Cougar drinks a spiked drink and unexpectedly turns into a woman. Jensen takes care of him and one thing lead to another. Sometimes the blonde would wake up in the morning with a comatose sniper sprawled over him because Cougar had been all sneaky. I don't read het. If it had been a Coguar-born-female story I likely wouldn't even have read it. However, I gave this a try and I really enjoyed it, even the sex part. Several great lines. Interesting situation, well handled. I like the little sides too, of Cougar threathening Jensen's female friend, the Cougar sneaking into Jensens' bed, the emotions, Pooch's mistaken belief of Jensen taking advantage of Cougar, Clay's bathroom obsession and everything. Nice.

More Than A Taste by taibhrigh
Cougar follows Jensen and discovers a secret - Jensen is a vampire. Now what? He figured he should be afraid of Jake, but Cougar knew - felt it in his very soul - that Jake would never hurt him. I really like the idea of Jensen being more than he seems. This story is a nice one. I like the idea in itself. Also the thought of Cougar speaking Spanish to Jensen when he's pissed at him. I like the hints of insecurity on both parts and the hopeful, open ending - lovely last line. I'm greedy, so I always want more in these types of stories, but it works very nicely as it is.

Musical Inclinations by Emerald Embers
Jensen loves to sing, but is not very good at it. Cougar doesn't mind much, for several reasons. Cougar can't honestly say that he minds - Jensen's constant chatter and noise is comforting and you get used to it, and when it threatens to get irritating Cougar has the advantage of being an expert in tuning out distractions. Nicely in character, a little awww-worthy. Several good points regarding Cougar's view of things, such as Cougar liking girls partly due to the understanding the hair grabbing thing. Intimate in parts. Nice end.

Next of Kin by storm_petrel
AU where Jensen is not with the Losers. Max holds his sister and niece hostage, forcing him to hack for him. One day he's captured by the Losers, who thinks he works willingly for Max. It's just, out of everything that's happened so far, he really honestly hadn't been expecting actual good guys to show up. Interesting plot, works well. Several good lines. I especiallly liked them sleeping in the same bed, if chastely - still hot. Cute with Jensen's nickname for Cougar. And, of course, as a native Stockholmian, this type of Stockholm Syndrom amuses me.

Nom, nom, nom ... by Cougar's Catnip
What kind of food Jensen prefers? A no-brainer. "Mexican," he said innocently. This really made me smile to read. Short, but funny.

Not Your Average Lima Losers by kaitlia777
The Losers get a lead on Max to a school in Lima, Ohio. They go undercover as teachers at the William McKinley high school. The "Glee" high school. One yelp from Jensen and Cougar moved into Aisha's line of sight, letting out a low, warning growl. Lovely idea for a crossover. I really enjoyed this story, I was smiling nearly throughout. The plot works, everyone nicely in character. The hint of Cougar/Jensen is lovely and yes, I can really see Sue Sylvester as one of Clay's exes. Several good lines. I also like Cougar teaching math (if with a lot of nods and grunts) - he would be good at that. And him tracking down missing students. Nice ending. Cute with Jensen translating for Cougar. Love for Jensen's Here kitty, kitty-boxers. I would have loved to see the hint of Jensen being very dangerous more developed, the hints are lovely, but I do understand that it would have been a bit much for this particular story.

Ones and Zeroes by Kayim
Jensen often writes notes in binary. One day Cougar gets curious as to what they say and he starts decoding one. To his surprise it is addressed to himself. 1001001 . 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 . 01111001 01101111 01110101. Awww. So sweet. And so Jensen. I really liked Cougar doing the decoding the hard way, bonus points for that. The story made me smile.

Observation by Jain
Jensen walks in on Clay and Cougar having sex. It's a total surprise, considering the DADT thingy and Clay being their superior and so on. On the other hand, he's also intrigued. Appearances could be deceiving, but the expression on Cougar's face hadn't exactly screamed, "Bad touch." Some interesting questions. I got a very vivid image of what Jensen walked in on - hot! Poor boy, though. Some nice lines. Heh for him actually considering that it might be a joke.

Oh The Places We'll Go! by jujitsuelf
Cougar and Jensen work their way through a jungle. Jensen talks and reads responses in Cougar's hat. He's having trouble with his mouth filter and ends blurting out that he thinks Cougar's hot. How will Cougar react? Jensen's voice rose a little and Cougar listened to him, rolling his eyes and reminding himself that killing one's team-mates was frowned upon in polite society. Cute! I like the hat-tilting translations and the playful side of Cougar. Good lines.

On The Origins Of A Man by Creed_Cascade
Scenes from Jensen's life, from age seven through school and when he finally meets up with and joins the Losers; how he grew to become the man he is today. "I could shoot you in ways you could never imagine from distances most people would consider impossible. His childhood and familylife was almost painful to read about, but sets the scene very well. I love the scene where he meets up with Cougar and how quickly they fit in with one another. Hot too. Heh for the Mexican carrot thing. Heh also for the interaction between Jensen and Roque. The scenes after the meeting were also fun, but also interesting to read. All-over well-written, very thoughtworthy. I had been pimped The Losers at a con I went to, but a story by one of my favorite authors moved the movie to the top of my DVD pile, so I could look and later read that fic. This fic. Which is a great fic and remains one of my favorites in what is now my second favorite fandom. Lovely, it just makes me want more each time I read it.

Option B by Jain
Almost a month in the jungle and your teammates start to look good. But soon Jensen starts wondering if Cougar might be looking for something more. "Hey, the army never said I had to make the lies believable, they just said I wasn't allowed to tell the truth." Both very much in character. Humour, without it being distracting. Nice hand with the small details to show rather than tell. Believably guyish to seek sex, then turning very sweetly into something more. I especially enjoyed Cougar's reaction when he thinks Jensen is rejecting the notion of "something more".

Pant-bustin' crush by legendary_patsy
Jensen tries to flirt with Aisha while Cougar paints the helicopter. It's not going very well - until Aisha decides to give him a break - and has sex with both him and Cougar. Cougar groans behind her and she glances over to see him sucking on fingers, not his own, Jensen's, covered with her essence, and she almost comes again from seeing that. I'm normally not at all keen on PWPs or threesomes - and het normally turns me off. This, however, is a great exception to that. Very hot, interesting POV. Nice interaction between the boys too.

Pants, swagger, and other things to bring to a gunfight by storm_petrel
Five scenes with five persons who has seen Jensen naked - though two scenes are Cougar-centric and Jensen's not completely naked in all scenes. --so when someone kicks down their safte house door and starts shooting up the kitchen Jensen has time to go for either his sidearm or his pants, and his pants don't stand a chance. I liked all scenes; they each had a nice wibe. Jensen to the rescue - yay! Cougar and him almost chastely clinging to each other in the shower - sweet, I really liked that. And the end was great. Everyone nicely in character. Several good lines. Poor Cougar with the shingles, but great plot device to set up the rescue scene.

Partial Harmonics by Feather
Cougar gets captured. Jensen sets out to rescue him. He gets unexpected company - Aisha. The three grows closer and ends up in a relationship. They win because by the time you figure out they're that fucking crazy, they've already shot you, and then it's over. I really enjoy Jensen to the rescue. I was a bit leery that Aisha's presence would delute Jensen's part of the rescue, but it worked well. Interesting with Jensen vs. Jake. I liked the backstory for Jensen, with Holly and Beth. Lots of nice lines in these stories, well written. Nice feeling between the three when they're together, with intimacy.

Pushing Boundaries by Marvinetta
Cougar always tops, unti Jensen has this brilliant idea as to how they can make the sex-in-the-showerwork - but it would require him lifting Cougar into position - and Cougar bottoming. Cougar is cautiously interested. He just hoped he could keep his composure and not have an orgasm just from listening to Cougar whisper really, really hot things in his ear. This story hits a lot of my kinks. Always-top Cougar pursuaded to bottom for the first time, Jensen taking his virginity, Cougar likes it - very, very nummie. Nicely in character, hot sex, cute with Cougar teasing Jensen, planning the garage-scene. Nice circle from start to finish in the shower.

Quis Custodiet Who gives a Rat's Ass? by catwalksalone
After Bolivia Cougar is even more quiet - but he screams in his sleep. The others can't sleep and finally Jensen has to do something. Jensen is spooning Cougar; knees tucked behind Cougar's, one arm thrown over his chest. Sweet story. Nicely written, very intimate. Interesting POV-choice. The one sentence sex scene was very well done, very vivid. The ending was lovely, very interesting explanation to Pooch's action after Jensen got shot.

Roll With It by theleaveswant
Clay orders the others to distract. So they do, by playing the role of stranger against one another. More Open-Minded Than Previously Suspected White Dude shrugged and reached for Universal Sex God, who held his hat tightly to his scalp in case this was some sort of trap, but allowed himself to be dipped into a humdinger of a Times Square kiss. I love the image of Jensen dipping Cougar (and Cougar making sure his hat is not messed with, during), the description of Cougar in particular and Jensen braving flickering Cougar's hat (and the genuine terror that follows). Ah, what can I say, I love Cougar. Fun story in a different style that works for me.

Rubber Ducky, You're the One! by Creed Cascade
Jensen and Cougar meet for the first time - in juvie. From then on, they're all each other really has. With time and confidence in their messed up, and mutually obsessive (some might say co-dependant) relationship, they came to realise that the only thing that could come between them was a bullet. Very interesting backstory. Highly enjoyable. I really like the idea of Jensen being more dangerous than he seems. And I really enjoy Jensen deciding from the start that Cougar will be his. The idea of him suddenly showing up in the army really made me smile, as did the rubber duck shooting thing. I did like the part about Jensen's sister and niece too. Several nice lines.

San Valentin by symbioticdeath
Valentine's day and Cougar starts finding presents. He deduces they are from Jensen. How will he respond? He had traded the remains of Persephone for a leather cowboy hat that Jensen promptly placed on Cougar's head. Sweet. I kind of like the whole men giving each other thoughtful, loving gifts-thing. Also the hint of self-sacrifice, or at least risking self. Cougar in fights is also something I like. Good selection of gifts. I really liked the hint of Cougar breaking down and the hand-holding.

Scars by Marvinetta
Cougar sees scars on Jensen and investigates them. When he finds out that all of them have negative associations he does something about this. "As hot as that was, if you ever pull a knife during sex again, I'm stabbing you with it." Interesting, different. I like the interaction between them. And I really like Cougar in this one. Sweet in a little twisted way. Both well in characters. Some hot scenes.

Security Blanket by Cattraine
Jensen wriggles his way closer to Cougar. When someone captures him, they gets a pissed off Cougar after them. It was closer than he allowed most of his one-night stands, but Jensen's bulk was putting out heat like a fucking furnace and for the first time in a week Cougar was warm enough for his muscles to unknot. Bodyheat is hot! And even sweeter when it's one-way sharing (well, more or less). Awww for cold Cougar and Jensen warming him up. Almost better (more intimate) than if they had had sex directly following. Protective Cougar is lovely; ruthless Cougar to the rescue deliciously hot. I like the way one gets to see the warehouse scene from different angles. Sweet, well in character. Very many good lines, hot sex, very nice sprinkles of both angst and humor.

Seduction!verse by iluvpaddedwalls
Jensen tries five easy steps how to seduce a man - Cougar. Things does not go quite as planned. Cougar had gone out last night and had gotten a gallon of Jensen's favorite ice cream, because he was a good person and not at all afraid for his life. Cute. I really liked Cougar thinking he had pissed off Jensen enough for Jensen to threathen him with a chain saw. And the scene in the second part when Cougar ends up "sleeping" with his head in Jensen's lap. And Jensen being distracted by a bunny cloud - perfectly reasonable. And Jensen touching Cougar's hat carefully as not to leave fingerprints. Several good lines and amusing.

Seven Days to Sunday by james
Jensen like-likes Cougar, but he has considerable difficulties actually telling his team-mate that. He seeks help from an unlikely source - his niece. He didn't know if he should be grateful or not that something about Cougar made it impossible for him to say a single word, rather than how he got around the ladies he'd tried throwing passes at with what turned out to be some of the stupidest pick-up lines in the entire history of guys trying to get laid. Funny, but works well and well in character. Several funny or interesting lines. I like the use of the niece.

So, Yeah, What Else Is She Gonna Do? by Medie
In this story, Jensen is a woman. Cougar still likes for Jensen to fuck him. His eyes darken, but there's a half-second of uncertainty there and she melts a little. I don't like AUs much in general, but this was fun. Well written in character, a hint of angst, hot too. Just the image of Cougar sucking that dildo - very hot!

Some Rules by Medie
Jensen has his mind made up: kissing Cougar is not supposed to happen. But a bit of alcohol, some cock blocking and Jensen talking a lot like usual; one thing leads to another and maybe some rules are made to be broken. Jensen also approved of Cougar licking his lips like he was lining up a shot because, god, how hot was that? Several good lines. Both boys well in character. Very good voice for Jensen. Funny story without being silly; a very nice, amusing read. Cute with not kissing Cougar in other languages too. I really liked Jensen checking Cougar's sniper stats for bragging rights (and Cougar trying to "sneak" into Jensen's system to check them as well). Hot in parts and awwww in parts too - especially for Jensen ranking up there with the hat.

Special Occasion by katemonkey
Cougar gives Jensen a blowjob - and what a blowjob! It was so amazing that Jensen didn't know if he wanted to cry, or to get married, or something equally ridiculous. Normally I'm not all that into PWPs, I do like plot to my stories. This, however, was absolutely lovely! One of the nicest such stories I've read - and one of the hottest blowjobs too. Also well written, several good lines, very nice mood and a lovely ending. Very nice overall!

Stay by Kayim
Jensen overhears Cougar having a problem and decides to give him a helping hand. Then what? He has to remind himself that there is an unwritten code of conduct about hearing a friend masturbate while you're supposed to be sleeping - he needs to just ignore what's happening and never mention or think about it again. Short, but very, very sweet. Awww even. Yet hot and with a lovely ending. Well written.

Stumbling by symbioticdeath
A drunk Cougar stumbles in and goes where he wants to go - into Jensen's room He was a ninja. Ninjas did not make noise. The door made a noise and therefore, was not a ninja. Cougar is a very cute drunk. Amusing story which made me smile. I do have a weak spot for Cougar talking spanish for certain stuff. A little awww.

Swirl of Sand, Grains and Stars by wild wolf free 17
When he sleeps, Cougar snuggles like an octopus. The Losers have no choice but to let him. Until Jensen joins the team. Jensen actually likes to be snuggled. None of the rest of them ever mention it to him because he is one scary bastard, but he's like an octopus if you're within his reach when he's asleep. So sweet story. It made me smile and go awww. Cute ending too.

Team Dynamics, Family, and Other Things That Will Hurt You by Pistol
After a tough childhood Jensen joins the military. During a course he meets Carlos Alvarez. At first they don't get along all that well, but when Jensen sees how hungry Carlos is, he feeds him - and like when you feed a stray cat, Jensen aquires a Cougar for life. But the path is far from easy. Cougar's bisexual, Jensen's straight (or is he?). Jensen isn't even part of the Losers, but part of Wade's team and there's great danger ahead. If you want me, I am yours. One of my most favorite slash stories overall (and I've been reading since the 80ies). Perhaps if I could have custom made the perfect story for me it would have had a bit more angst and a few other details, but this is absolutely wonderful. Lovely, with nice angst, not too dark, but with a hint of danger. Long without being the least bit boring. Nice to read an author not afraid to take time to explore a universe. Loads of good lines, plenty of humor, several things I adore. I would love to read more in this series and I dearly hope there will be more. A great re-read as well. Nicely in character. I actually laughed out loud several times while reading this (very rare for me). Awww for Cougar's chocolate obsession (including scaring new recruites out of their chocolate and getting high school girls to buy for him) - and I wholeheartedly agree that while the world is full of problems, chocolate will never be one of them. Aww for the whole feeding Cougar thing and Cougar then following Jensen around. Nice interaction with the whole team. There's simply too many details in this great story that I like for me to mention them all. Awww for Jensen hogtying Cougar and carrying him off base - that was hilarious. I liked Rogue a lot in this one too. Great ending, I really like that.

The First Eight Don't Count by Storm_Petrel
Jensen hasn't told his team mates one, minor detail about himself. Not the gay thing - the werecat thing. His alternative self, Cat, also likes Cougar. Then he is forced to reveal himself. "Jensen, they shot me up with something psychotropic, but you're naked, and I'm pretty goddamn sure you were a cat just a second ago." Lovely story, a personal favourite of mine. I love the idea of Jensen as a werecat, it just fits so nicely the way it is described in this story. The ADHD-off-the-meds as a more reasonable explanation for his behaviour made me smile. And I really enjoyed the interaction between Cougar and Cat (and Jensen). Great. Nice little adventure in the middle, several lovely lines, great ending. My only "complaint" is that this is one of those stories you wish there were ten more stories in a series to.

The Hardest Part by der_tanzer
Cougar is great at waiting, but when he gets seriously wounded to wait gets difficult even for him. One day Cougar woke to find Jenson holding his hand, and a few days later he was disturbed in the night by a muffled choking sound and opened his eyes to see the strong shoulders he had clung to on the mountain shaking with barely suppressed sobs. Nicely in character. Good job of returning to the waiting, building the story well. Awww and sweet.

The Key In Silence by duchess93309
For the first time in years, Cougar is unable to brush his own hair. Jensen helps him - and in doing so he discovers the key to Cougar's tongue - and learns something unexpected. Jensen stops again, sets the brush down and carefully pulls the shocked sniper onto his lap. Awww - so sweet. Babbling Cougar is so cute - as are the things he says! I like the hints of angst, the love, them sitting together and (later) Cougar in Jensen's lap. Cute with the Jake-kitten. I like the ending. One of those stories I'd love to read more in the same universe as, but it stands very well on its own.

The Man Who Never Shut Up by Katemonkey
Of course Jensen is talkative in bed - and loud too, as all the Losers finds out the hard way, even if Cougar is the only one with first hand experience, so to speak. But after Bolivia Jensen gets very quiet and everyone knows that something is wrong. "Cougar, I'm not asking, and you're not telling, but do you think you could possibly keep Jensen a bit quieter when you're --not necessarily, and as I mentioned, I'm not asking and you're not telling -- having sex?" I like the title a lot. Interesting idea too. What Jensen said makes me smile. A little awww-worthy and poor Cougar ... The scene with everyone relaxing when they finally hear Jensen again also made me smile. Good humor.

The Right Words (to break me up) by katrinbisiani
Cougar and Jensen are fuck buddies - until Jensen overhears Cougar telling his sniper buddies about the lousy lay he's had - with a hacker in fugly t-shirts wearing hideous glasses. And Jensen's world view changes. But was he really just a lousy, convenient lay to Cougar? You were supposed to be my best friend asshole, not the one putting the knife in my back and tolerating me because you wanted to get laid when no else but this lousy fuck was around! Strong. Poor Jensen. I do like these misunderstandings, though Cougar does deserve what he gets -that was lousy things to say regarding anyone, regardless who. Still good with feelings and I liked the end. I also liked Jensen telling Clay what for. Interesting to have a Cougar more talkative than we normally get him. Cute that Cougar's still jealous of Cora.

The Sniper at the Gates of Heaven by JoeLawson
Max's snukes works a little too well, shifting the tectonic plates and, in effect, setting off an apocalypse of sorts, leaving the world devoid of working electronics, including cars, planes, the Internet ... The Losers need to cope in a world changed - but they still has each other and they're not giving up. Cougar's face was turned towards him even in sleep so goddamn protective of Jensen no matter that the other man outweighted him by a good twenty pounds, all of it muscles. I love protective Cougar and greater love hath no sniper than he who abandons his rifle for the man he loves. Sweet. I like the story overall, I enjoy this type of storis, to follow the building of a new universe and a new life. I liked that both Aisha and Roque are along. Nice OCs too. Another one of those universes in which it would be lovely to read more stories.

The Weakest Link by Themisto's-Heart
One of Clay's exes (and her father) wants to get back at Clay. As they don't get to him they go for who they perceive to be the weakest link in the Losers' chain - Jensen. Jensen is very annoyed by being perceived thus, but is that really how the other losers see him? However, Jensen has something more important on his mind. They had been able to get him as he was preoccupied by that Cougar had been hanging with some of his former team mates and being far more open and talkative with them than he ever was with Jensen. Is their great friendship just a figment of Jensen's sometimes a little overactive imagination? He had to face the ugly truth: Cougar obviously didn’t value their friendship as much as the hacker did. Sweet angst. Both plot lines work and both has a good solution. Poor Jensen - but I do like it when he proves wrong those who underestimates him.

The Worst We Can Find (la-la-la) by Pistol
Movie night for the Losers. Jensen has a plan to show Cougar what he feels and hopefully not lose his teeth. How will Cougar react? It's not easy, but Jensen reminds himself that laughter is a better rejection than a piece of lead or a broken nose. Cute story, funny and a little awww-worthy, especially the end. Sweet. Hah for Jensen donning a protective west, just in case.

This Fucking Business by sch
A chance meeting in Spain, like ships in the night, sniper and hacker, parting after a wonderful night - until a few hours later, when Cougar is introduced to the newest member of The Losers ... Jensen is very happy about things, but Cougar fears he will sully Jensen if they start a relationship. Yeah, so what if he thought about him and Jensen married in his head, it was just a silly thought, but one that warmed him every time Jensen came back to his bed. Nicely built story. I like the immediate, strong attraction. First times are always nice. I greatly enjoyed Jensen pursuing Cougar and Cougar being insecure of him being bad for Jensen. Also Cougar's romantic side, aww ... And him with the other Jensens - very cute. Overall a nice read with many good lines.

Too Right for Me by SCH
Cougar and Jensen meet at the orphanage. Cougar is ten; Jensen four. Cougar loses his heart from the start - and the two belong together from then on. But the road ahead will not be smooth - it might be worth everything, though. He could live with the knowledge that his life wasn't his own, owned by Jensen, as long as the younger boy never left him. Awww. Little Jensen is so cute! And Cougar is so devoted. I like the feral part of Cougar peeking forth and how willing he is to kill for Jensen. Sweet ending. Several good lines. The shared birthday is lovely. Some nice angst. Very sweet about the hat (I like Cougar using it as part of his height, that made me smile).

Under Covers by unfinishedidea
Cougar and Jensen pretends to be a married team of gay assassins. Things go well until they have to pretend to have sex and things get a little bit too realistic. It makes Jensen thrust involuntarily, because holy shit that's hot, and if Cougar couldn't tell Jensen was hard before, he certainly can now. Lovely idea. Nicely executed too. Aww- poor Jensen -but it worked out so very nicely. So good I'd love to read more of the same plot.

Under the Sea by bluehwys
Someone - and Jensen happily points to Cougar as the guilty part - has made it very difficult to get in to the base. It might be that Clay does not quite believe him. "Cougar," Clay began, voice dripping with disbelief, "replaced all of Roque's identifying information - including his picture in the Army database and on his personal military ID with Ariel from The Little Mermaid?" Very amusing. Short, well contained. Everyone well in character. I could see this in a movie. Cute with the scorecard - and Cougar having one in his hat. I like Cougar's reaction too.

Walk A While With Me by LadyJanelly
AU. Cougar is ashamed of his sexuality. He lets anonymos strangers fuck him as punishment. One night he gets slipped a mickey, bashed and almost set on fire - and rescured by one Jake Jensen, hair-dresser extraordinarie. Jake takes him home and a friendship starts - and maybe something more. Jake takes a shaky breath and sags against the wall, "Cougar, Jesus," he pants and Cougar feels a swell of pride that he did this, that he ws good enough. Aww - sweet story! I like the occasional AU and this is a very nice one. Sad backstory with Jake, even if it is necessary fro the story. I really like the J-Mageddon nick name, nice touch! Interesting premiss with Cougar wanting punishment for his sexuality - it works very well for this story (even if I wouldn't want to read it too often). Very intimate when they do have sex, hot. Awww-worthy in parts.

We Can't All Be Winners, But We Might As Well Try by coininbr> The Lovers play games - Monopoly, Taboo, Apples to Apples, Cards Against Humanity, Boggle and Candy Land -in their own way. Cougar takes to the game like a duck to water, surprising absolutely no one - after all, it's basically Apples to Apple for horrible people with no shame. Cute. It made me smile to read. Partly because Apples and Apples is one of my favourite games to play, a slash version with my slasher friends. Also Cougar helping the girls win over Clay and Candy Land for Sundea really amused me. And him stealing from the bank.

Watch by katemonkey
A good sniper must enjoy watching. Cougar is a very, very good sniper. Most of all, though, he enjoys watching Jensen. Luckily, Jensen also enjoys Cougar watching him. The narrow view of the world, the view from his rifle's scope -it focused the sniper, it taught him to avoid distractions, to watch only what mattered most in his life at that moment. Cute, sexy story. Both boys well in character. Nice first time. Hot.

What the Hell Happened Last Night? by kaitlia777
The Losers go out to drink together. The mornings after are always interesting, like an insane version of Clue. They wake up in various places, in various outfits and under various circumstances. What actually happened? One time they had started drinking in Berlin and the next clear memory he had was waking up in a tree in Madagascar. Very amusing. I especially like Jensen's boxers. And the conclusion that could be drawn in glitter.

When A Child Is Born by Jujitsuelf
Jensen's sister is giving birth. Her brother is with her - but out in the waiting room is also four very anxious "uncles". Everyone knew Jensen had the hots for Cougar, as they all knew Cougar would move heaven and earth to make Jensen happy, but the two of them didn't seem to have gotten around to telling one another yet. Aww ... so sweet how anxious they are. And using Cougar as their secret weapon against the nurses, that really amused me. Sweet story overall.

When the World Stands on its Head, We're All Upside Dow by bookstorequeer
AU in which Cougar and Jensen are separate from the other losers. Clay wants Cougar on his team, but they have no use for a tech. They kidnap Jensen to pursuade Cougar to join them. Only ... they thought Cougar was the tall one. Oops. Of course, Jensen is not happy that someone took his sniper. Because the man they'd kidnapped just smirked and said "Biggest mistake of your lives" rather than freak out. Heeeh, I really liked this story. Funny, elegant and believable.

Who You Wish For by James
Jensen is a centaur. As no other centaur stallion tries to challenge him or wants to own him, he's starting to see the Losers as his herd and Clay as his herd stallion. Only, normally this would mean that Jensen would be in love with Clay - instead he wants Cougar. What will happen if Cougar finds out the truth? Still, it might be nice to know if he and Cougar stand a chance-- if Cougar likes him that way, if he'd run screaming from the idea of shacking up with a mythological creature. I like the idea a lot and the Cougar vs. Clay thing makes me smile. The Zeus thing was a neat detail. I really would have loved some more here, to read more about the revelation of the truth to Cougar. Still, nice ending.

X-Files Disclaimer and information

Aftermath by Donna McIntosh
The Aliens won and have taken over the world. Everyone left struggles for survival. For a growing group of survivors an unlikely leader emerges - Alex Krycek. Every President, Prime minister, every royal family, all Governors, all Generals, all Admirals, every police man in every country were identified and immediately eliminated in the first few days. Interesting concept, well thought out and executed. I enjoy world building stories and this is a nice one. I also like this take on Alex, and also that it isn't a "one man story", other characters are also necessary. Several nice original characters. A nice romantic arch with misunderstandings and sacrifice.

Curtains by Sylvia
Sometimes assassins face unexpected difficulties. When forced to shop curtains, Krycek's path is crossed by Mulder on one of his bizarre cases. Luckily, Krycek knows how to turn things to his advantage. Artificially induced lycanthropy - brought on by a chemical compound disguised as, say, a spray for preventing allergies. Cute story, fun with a nice sense of the absurd. Many clever, highly enjoyable sentences.

Deliverance by Sylvia
Mulder breaks into an underground laboratory and finds ... a dead Alex Krycek. Or does he? But he found now that when you had been enemies for so long - when you had hated someone with all your soul for so long - their death could be as much of a shock as the death of a loved one. A very interesting little fic. Thoughtworthy, well written and with a very neat twist in the end.

Domesticated? by Orithain
When she learns that Mulder has a boyfriend, Scully's mother invited Mulder and Krycek over for dinner. Mulder accepts, but is a bit worried to bring bad-boy Krycek to such civilized company. But Krycek overhears and gives Mulder a big surprise. It's like having a pet wolf: He cares about me, and he'll protect me against any perceived danger, but he'll never be domesticated. Amusing and in character. I like.

Easter Midnight Bunny Bust by Jamiwilsen
Mulder the Fox and Scully the Squirrel work for Skinner the Eagle at the Forest Bureau. One of their targets is Spender the Snake, but Mulder is more interested in pursuing rumours of Little Gray Bunnies -and, of course, Alex the Rat ... Chasing the Rat was almost as exciting as catching him, although he had to admit in his secret heart of himself that what he really wanted was to hold down the Rat and lick him all over. Normally I don't really like AUs, but this one is very nicely done, well thought out, yet funny. A little angst with Alex the Rat just wanting Mulder to like him again ... Aww ... Cute.

Gabriel by Ganymede
How a possessive, violent, psychotic assassin in love expresses his feelings. Mulder is contacted by a Gabriel Cohen, who is Krycek's current, if rather reluctant, obsession. Steal your destiny from the hands of fate, if you have to. Interesting story with a mix of outsider's perspective when forced inside. Several good lines, I really like possessive, unstable Krycek. Seems to promise a possible sequel, which I would have liked.

Hardened Criminal by Orithain & Nicole S
Alex Krycek is studying to be an FBI-agent, when he participates in a gay bashing. The victim dies and Krycek is thrown in prison. Where works a friend of the victim, a Fox Mulder. Mulder decides for some personal revenge. After a very rocky start, romance ensues. Alex couldn't look at him, couldn't look at the lush lips he'd kissed, the warm hazel eyes he could have sworn had been filled with love. The transition from prison rape to romance is a bit unexpected and not an easy feat to make work, but work it does. Lovely hints of angst, good use of canon characters in an AU.

Keepsakes by Julie Morningstar
Krycek comes back after a long mission - and finds Skinner out cold, drunk. Krycek snoops around and draws conclusions - while he was gone, Skinner must have fallen in love, and then she left him. But is this really true? Dealing with a drunk Skinner was like trying to take a dozen kangaroos for a walk. I like misunderstandings - this also has a bit of aww ... and self-sacrifice, which is also good in my book.

Mad Dogs by Ladonna King
In his childhood Krycek was fixated on Mulder and he will now do anything for him- including killing either others or himself. Mulder is slowly coming to terms with this and how to handle his responsibility. And, even with this, there will be an adventure. Alex was up, staring down at him with such brute adoration Mulder's breath froze in his chest. Contains my favorite Krycek - mad, damaged and insanely devoted to Mulder. Lovely story. Hot too.

Nighttime Visitors by Sylvia
Scully comes home to Mulder rather suddenly and stumbles over a very ... interesting situation. So what you are saying is that Krycek, who, being a Russian, naturally regards anything above the freezing point of helium as balmy weather, broke into your apartment not wearing any clothing ... and you then overpowered him, handcuffed him, and threw him down on your sofa in order to interrogate him. One of my favorite humor stories. Nice style too, all dialogue. Well in character.

Otis by Shan
Due to the nanocytes Skinner becomes able to communicate to the intelligent elevators at the FBI-building and at his home - Otis. And Otis helps him capture a certain one-armed assassin. And all in all improves his mental health, solving several of his problems in one go. "Walter, you have Alex Krycek handcuffed to your bed?" This is a story I find myself remembering on and off. Aww ...

Proper, Punctuation by Imp
Krycek is writing a case report. He is very, very fond of commas. We find out why. While, it may seem, unusual in the extreme, we have in fact, obtained, five written statements, from bystanders, who witnessed the perpetrator, turning the woman's, jewelry, into goldfish. Very cute fic. It always makes me smile.

Situational Ethics by Merry Lynne
A man calling himself "Mulder" calls Blair. You're the guy who thinks ET phoned the government. Always nice to do the Sentinel crossovers where someone else is a Sentinel and needs Blair and Jim's help. I've written one myself and in part I was inspired by this story and others such as it. What is really sweet is how Blair assumes the man Mulder thinks is a sentinel - an Alex Krycek - is a) Mulder's, b) a pussycat and c) genetically predisposed to protect those around him. And the beautiful line about the fountain. And the ending. Several nice lines.

Substitutions by Josan
Krycek is with Skinner, but only as a substitute for Mulder and when Mulder returns, Krycek goes North. To Cascade. Where he catches the interest of Simon Banks. But Krycek feels unworthy. He'd known from the very beginning that he was nothing more than a substitute. Self-deprecation, love overcoming obstacles, courting. Very warming, good story that I like a lot.

Take me too you're heaven by Niccie
Krycek loves Mulder for a reason. "Oh snuggle bunney, my wonderful love muffin youre not jealous of that oilien are you?" One of the funniest storis I've read. It's bad-fic, but on purpose, for a bad fic challenge, and it's hilarious. It never fails to make me smile.

The Gift of an Enemy by Sylvia
Aliens show up. They want to negotiate with Mulder. As tradition bids them, they start with giving him a gift - an enemy - Krycek. Before things continue, though, Krycek and Mulder are dragged off to the city of Weimar, where there has been mysterious disappearances. A very interesting case for Mulder. Talking to Fox Mulder frequently left the inexperienced with the impression that they were losing time. One of my favorite X-file stories. Lethal, dangerous Alex. Determined, single-minded Mulder. Both close to breaking. Humor too. Strength. Hot. inspiring story overall. Nicely written and well planned. Hints for more in the air, I would have loved more, but isn't that true for most great stories? Many good lines. Interesting original characters.

	Smallville Disclaimer and information Oh, for the first seasons, when things were bright and the air full of hot promises. Then the show jumped the shark. Alas, I did like the final episode and there were a lot in the later seasons that worked for me too, so not too bad. And several great stories.

A Date with the President by Henry Jones Jr
Lex is elected president - and reunited with Clark Kent. Who is single, unattached and gay. The possibilities are endless. "You're the most powerful man in the world and I shouldn't be uncomfortable because I've seen your fanny?" Warm story. A bit of humor, a nice read, good feeling between the boys. Rediscovery of friendship and love. Well written.

A Deal with the Devil by Selene la Luna SmallvilleXBrimstone
Lex's father really is the devil. And his dad is Ezekiel Stone. In this story Lionel is also Lucifer of Brimstone. Lucifer offers Lex that he can tell Clark the truth - if Clark first tells Lex his secret. Which he does. His best friend who, Clark admitted morosely, he had been in love with for half a year. Nice crossover, which I really like. Cute.

A Figure in Hiding by Lady Angel CSI Las Vegas
A dead woman is found in Lex's hotellroom. Lex hasn't ever seen her before, but gets suspected. Grissom and the team investigates. Mercy, Hope and Constance knows what is needed - they fetch Clark. "If you go in there and ask him questions while he's that angry, by the time he's through, you're going to arrest your grandmother for the crime instead of him." Nice crossover. I really enjoy the interaction between the boys, how special Clark is to Lex and how Lex reacts to Clark. Lots of Aww ... Good mystery too, nice twists and solutions. Humor too. Several good lines.

A Half Dozen Headlines by Drake of Dross
Lionel has noted how often Lex gets into trouble in Smallville - so he sends him to Belgium. And Lex continues to get into trouble. He would have been severely disappointed in himself if he couldn't out-sex appeal Lana Lang when he wanted to, even to hometown country boys. With caring Lionel - my favorite. I also like a lot the clever arrangement Clark and Lex has in order to take care of the mutants. Humor. Sweet too.

A Heart Whose Love is Innocent by Coren Lee
Lex has to leave Smallville on vacation. Clark is sad about this, so Lex borrows him a cellphone, so they can talk every day. The talks gets long and interesting. They fall in love. Lex had never expected to hear such a gentle and sincere protestation of love directed towards him. One of those lovely stories you just want to keep reading. Nice emotions. Aww-worthy in places. Also, while Lionel wasn't prominent in the story, I really like the portrayal of him. Several nice lines. I like semi-stalkerish Clark too. Interesting rescue.

A New Life in the New World by peach1250 Historic AU
Lionel sends Lex to the new world - America. He is shipwrecked and captured by indians. Clark is one of the indians and he claims Lex for himself. Alexander smelled right. Not my normal style, but I liked this one.

A Picture of Home by Wendi
Clark has moved away from home, and is miserable in his new place. Then Lex comes to cheer him up and all is well again. Things happen. Clark, just because I stopped asking questions, doesn't mean I didn't want to know. Warm story. I like the mouse and Lex in a hat that says "Porn Star". A bit of awww .... too.

Achilles' Heel by X-parrot
In the future, Lex finds out Clark's secret and goes to him with kryptonite to get revenge. Only, things don't go that way. Lex, watching impassively, asked with false nonchalance, "Is there anything you can't do?" Nice story with a very interesting twist in the end, eery almost. Well done.

Alien!Clark by qwertyuip
Lex has nightmares about many, many interesting things that could happen to them - or him - due to Clark's alien orgins, focusing on reproduction. It's our egg, Lex. Some of these are hilarious, others scarily possible.

Aliens in Smallville by Magdelena
When kryptonians appear in Smallville, most likely sent there like Clark, to rule Earth, Clark has no other choice than to tell Lex the truth about himself. Lex's reaction isn't perhaps what Clark anticipated. "I'm a bit busy being inappropriately aroused at the idea that you were sent here for the purpose of ruling the Earth. Fun story, it made me smile. I even liked Lana in this one, which is rare for me. And great reaction from Lex.

Blowup Dolls and Alien by daylight shadow
Lex swears off women. But then he gets into a bit of a bind, as he has already sworn off men. And he refuses to masturbate for the rest of his life. Oh dear, what ever will Clark suggest he tries instead ...? "Maybe I can sleep with men," Lex said casually as he refilled his glass. Fun and well written. Carries its point well.

Boardwalk with Hotel by Gigi Sinclair
The boys play monopoly together. Lex is very, very bad at it. Then things happen. Lex had cried maybe three times in his life, but, for a moment it looked like this was going to be the fourth. We get lovely angst. Humor too. Warm story, boys in character. I especially like Clark in this one. Nice ending.

Bound by Auden
Interesting story-format, exploring the many different meanings of the title word - and how they apply to Clark's relation to both Lana and Lex. Also, one different way of how Lex learns of Clark's secrets. A good reputation may be as hard to shed as a bad one, but it certains helps a lot more in court. Nicely executed story.

Brothers by Henry Jones Jr
Lex is very, very upset at the idea that Clark might be his brother. Because he loves Clark. Then Clark comes to him to tell him the truth - there's a really good reason why Clark and Lex can't be brothers, as Clark isn't exactly from around here. Lex is happy again. Before Lex could blink, Clark kissed him fully on the lips, laughed in panicked shrillness, and was gone. Cute story. I also like scientific Lex helping Clark.

Building the Future by Lady Ra
Clark is taken by a man who auctions off rare and precious things in very exclusive auctions. Lex is bidding, but will even he have enough money to save Clark? At his side he has Martha's cousin, Tony DiNozzo of NCIS. "See how fast I can sell everything I own in the next," he glanced at his watch, "twenty-four hours." Good story with plenty of good details. Enjoyable. I don't like Lana, so her swift death made me smile. Several good lines, I really like Bruce in this one (and, yes, I could see him with Abby). Good pairings in both fandoms. Interesting withJonathan's reaction. I also liked the idea of the auction, good plot. Nice dashes of humor.

Business Studies by Wereleopard
Clark studies business and gets assign to study LexCorp. Lex helps him - but too well. Clark is accused of falsefying the information (no one knows that he knows Lex). Lex to the rescue! No one came up with revenge ideas like Lex. Sweet, strong overall.

By Any Other Name by Kel
Clark and Lex decides on each other's nicknames. "You called me a walking phallic symbol." I find it amusing, especially naming Lex Sigourney after the one in Aliens that all the alien are drooling over.

Card One: The Fool by Mistress Ace
Clark need Lex's help. To keep women from pursuing him he tells them that Lex is his boyfriend. During the pretend they grow progressingly closer - until the prtend becomes reality. Now what will they do? Lex waited, breathless as hope bloomed in the arid desert of his soul when Clark murmured, "Lex, all you have to do to rock my world is walk into a room. Several good lines. Good story. Sweet, especially in the beginning. Nice progression of the relationship. Nice dashes of humor. The Kori plotline made me wince, that made me feel really bad for them, but it worked in the story context. I like how Lex being gay made the Lexcorp stock rise. Also the subplot with Chloe. And the whole "luckiest person who ever lived" always makes me smile.

Cats and Dogs by J Wolfine
Clark has had enough of Lex's flirting - either he's right about the flirting and they get together - or he's wrong and Lex has to stop. Luckily, he isn't wrong. But then there's the little special thing Clark's dick does after sex ... Lex had no idea how little control he physically had over Clark, so it was up to Clark to override his need and give Lex the ability to say yes or no. I have a distinct liking for imperfect sex and with Clark being alien and all, that opens up for all kinds of neatness. Such as in this story. Fun, interesting story, well written.

Circumstances by joyfulgirl41
Lex figures out Clark's secret - that he is superman. He has no idea of the other secret - that Clark doesn't know he's Superman. Clark has developed a second personality that deals with all his powers - and he doesn't know. Superman tells Lex. One theory is that Clark had a psychotic break. Very interesting, fresh story, thoughtworthy and nicely written.

Conquer the Heart by Artemis
Clark used to want for his friends and family to see how great Lex is - until his wish comes true and it seems as if Chloe is taking his place in Lex's life - and more. But what is really the truth? Importing all the chocolate in Switzerland couldn't have captured Clark's heart so completely as hearing one by one all the ways Lex has been showing his love over the years. Interesting story idea. Good emotion, several good lines, nice angst too. Good use of Chloe. I like this type of misunderstandings and this was a really nice one. Sweet. Nice bits of humor too.

Convergence by Rushlight
Dr Hamilton's experiment on meteor rocks threatens to destroy the fabric of space and time. Parallell universes bleed into each other. I accidentally called your number in a parallell dimension? Interesting story. A hint of humor, but overall interesting. Different relationships between Clark and Lex in the different universes. Inspirational. A good read.

Cool by Ruby
Chloe thinks that Lex has finally found someone - Clark. She tries to convince Clark of this. Finally Clark has to confront Lex. Chloe was leaning back in her chair with a "Well, there you have it" expression on her face, Clark was staring at Chloe like he'd gone mad and Pete was still banging his head on the table when Lex walked up. Really cute story - I especially enjoy Pete banging his head on the table and Clark's reaction to finding out.

Darkly Delicious by Keikokin
Clark confronts his father why he doesn't like Lex, when they're interrupted by Lionel, who demands to know Clark's intentions towards Lex. When Clark tells him the truth, Jonathan reacts badly. And how will Lionel rect - not to mention Lex? If you hurt him, I'll kill everyone you care about while you watch then find some pretty green rocks for you. I do have a weak spot for Lionel getting involved. Yay for Lionel's very timely entrance and handling of the situation. While I did like the Clark and Lex part of this story too, I did like Lionel a lot in this one. Nice dash of angst too.

Demarcation by Livia
After Lex moves to Metropolis, Clark and Lex drifts apart. Clark becomes Superman. And one day, on patrol, he finds Lex again. A weirdly giddy prickle ran up and down his spine as the realization broke over him - he didn't have to hide his strength. A little adventure, getting together and a nice twist at the end. Sweet, readable story, enjoyable. A little angst too.

Destiny's Couple by Bleudiabb AU
Lionel bring Lex back to Smallville to visit the Kents - and Clark, age 4. The boys become fast friends and forms a bond that is only strengthened over the years until it reach its natural conclusion many years later. He wanted Clark to be his and his alone, there was something between thm, some bond: Destiny. I'm very weak for kid!fics. Very sweet, though with a hint of angst and much warmth.

Devil's Deal by Bagheera
Kon died. Tim drake cloned him, but the clone isn't alive, since he doesn't have a soul. Lex wants to help, but doesn't know how. Then a mysterious stranger shows up, offering Lex a deal - Kon's soul for Lex's own. Is the cost too high? Still, Lex likes to believe that Kon hates him less than he hated Lionel. Interesting story. A good read, well written, not predictable. Ev16:22 2014-02-04 jeryone nicely in character. Good premise for a story. Nice dash of humor. Several good lines.

Do You Not Hear Me Speak? by philtre
Lovely little story about what the things Lex says or do really means. Sometimes, when Lex says "What can I do for you?", he really means "How can I show you that you're important to me?" Sweet and thoughtworthy. Inspiring.

Dustbunny by La Chatte Noire
Dustbunny is an African Gray Parrot Lex buys. He names him Acheron, but Clark convinces the bird that its name is Dustbunny. In punishment Lex teaches the bird that Clark is Mommy. And later, of course, Lex becomes Daddy. They hung up, wondering why they had each wanted to say "I love you". Awww ... Who can resist Dustbunny? It is incredibly sweet, warm, funny and I really like it.

Emerald Eyes by Ingrid
Lex buys a strange, red stone - and it has a very strange effect on Clark - he turns into a cat. Because if loving him wasn't illegal before, it sure as hell was illegal now. Warm, funny, emotional story with a bit of angst and adventure thrown in. Me likes. Inspiring, too.

Eventual by Suz
One day, when he is 27, Clark realises he has outgrown the world. He has to leave. But there is something - or, rather, someone - he can't give up. Clark, interested as I am in seeing what lies beyond this planet, I think my lungs would have a small problem with the distinct lack of oxygen. Interesting, fresh story with depth.

Family by Kendermouse AU
Clark and his father drives a truck for Smallville Farmer's Cooperative. One day they pick up a stray - a man, near-naked in the snow. The naked man has amnesia. "You know that Martha would brain me with her favorite skillet if she thought I was even thinking of hurting you." One of my favorite things about the story is how Smallville protects its mutants, such as Kyle, "gifted" as they call them. Also nice with faith/belief in love. And how "everyone" knows - but Clark doesn't know that they know. Very nice vibe to the story. Several nice quotes.

Family, Friendship and Love by Henry Jones Jr
Lex and Clark are drunk one night and have sex. A bit later, Lex leaves Smallville and they drift apart. So Lex have no way of knowing that, a few months later, Clark has a son, Sam. Three years later, Lionel visits Smallville and sees a young boy who reminds him a lot of Lex as young. He doubted he would ever have his feelings returned, but Sam was a tangible piece of them both, proof of something wonderful made by their friendship that Lex could cherish and love without fear of reproach. Heartwarming, interesting story. Sam is adorable. Very nice read, well written. Humor too. Friendship. Responsibility. Love.

Ransom by Kel
It's Christmas and Lex has brought a rabbit for Christmas dinner. Clark doesn't want the rabbit to be eaten, so he kidnaps it. Literally. Oh, and there's mistletoe involved. It was signed "The Rabbit Liberation Front". Cute. I like rabbits. One of those awww-sweet stories.

Fermi Was An Optimist by Sleeps With Coyotes
Parking in the middle of nowhere, the boys lay and watch the stars - and talk about aliens. It wasn't like Lex had told him what they were going to do, after all, but Lex was practically obsessed with making him happy. Sweet, warm story by one of my favorite authors. Nice ending.

Forbidden Fortress by Hearts On Our Sleeves
AU in which Lionel Luthor is possessed by Zod. Together with Genevieve and Jason he rules Earth. In the resitance is Lex Luthor and Kal-El. But on his side Lionel has 85.000 clones of Clark. Or are they really on his side? It was a smile that lit up the world, warmed the heart, and made you believe that it was possible for people to actually be that good. Very interesting, fresh story. Enjoyable read. The clones were so sweet, with their dedication and love for their Papa - and their Daddy. Very sad about those that died, of course, very moving. Sweet with Peter and naming them all.

Forget by Henry Jones Jr.
Lex is hovering between being a kid and being an adult. "Can Clark come out to play?" Sweet little story. It makes me smile.

Frantic by Jenn
Sentient goo is about to eat Smallville and Clark is about to reveal his secret to Lex, who takes him to one of his secret labs for them to join forces against the being. I made sentinet goo to chase us across the country, specifically to seduce you in my slowly decompressing lab, right before I die of suffocation. Nice sense of humor. Several good lines. Overall a nice, funny read that made me smile several times. Cute with the goo. The Batman-Joker thing in particular I found very amusing.

Full Disclosure by LaCasta
Lex is preparing his presidental compaign, when one of his employees rush in, asking about his liaisons in Smallville and why he neglected to mention them. Lex's face held the tolerant amusement of a parent listening to a child who has insisted that he was going to tell a story to Daddy for the first time, and had already gotten hopelessly confused. Funny, I like the twist at the end.

Future Legend by glittrejungle
Lex has a breakdown. Superman saves him. The boys get together. Hello, I'm Superman, and I'm voting for Lex Luthor. Cute revelation of Clark's secret, a human side to Lex. Also, I like Lionel in this one - I'm very weak for supportive Lionel. Smooth read, interesting story.

Games by Orithain and Rina
Story of Clark and Lex's life together. Love and friends and dogs. But he was too much a Luthor - and too much in love for the first time in his life - to give Clark up. Heartwarming. Sweet. Aww-worthy in pieces. Many good quotes, lots of things to enjoy. Wirtten in a lovely, engaging way. The dogs are adorable, especially when Lex first gets his dog. One of those series that despite being very long I just want to read more of. Martha (and especially Jonathan) standing up for the boys against Lional is always nice. Interesting idea with centering the stories around games. Cute with Jonatahn welcoming Lex to the family when he can fix the tractor. Lionel in good character, our magnificent bastard, though I'd love to have more of him. Story well connected with consistent archs. I loved when the gay bashers tried to bash Lex. I liked Dave too, interesting OC. Also Bruce and Dick. Fun with the guy who thought Lex couldn't afford the Weimaraner. Nice story overall.

Gravestones by Lady Ra
People around Clark die - of illness, accidents and - eventually - old age. But one day, 23 years after the last person he knew died, Clark gets a message. The ad said: If Clark Kent is still alive, please call 918-555-1313. Great story by one of my favorite authors. Tearsworthy, in a very good way. Awww ... I really like this one.

Growing Pains and Sweet Discoveries by Titti
Clark is gay, but haven't told Lex. One day they, and some of Clark's campus friends, go on a skiing tour. Lex finds out. "If you plan to live and work in this or any other civilized country, then I suggest you apologise to my boyfriend and leave us alone." What I especially enjoy in this story is ruthless Lex that cuts a few would-be bashers down to size. Go Lex!

Home for Christmas by Titti
The Kents are descending on the Luthors to celebrate Christmas. Only, Clark hasn't told his parents that he and Lex are together ... Uh-oh ... It was in instances such as this that Lionel remembered why Lex was so dangerous in life and business. A very heart-warming story. I like it a lot. I especially enjoy accepting Lionel in it.

Horse Fever by Keikokin
Clark grows more and more disenchanted with the Daily Planet's treatment of Lex, even though they are no longer friends. Finally he quits the Planet, intending to go home. Only, once he packs his apartment, who shows up, but Lex? They'll meet up in Smallville again - only for Clark to find out that there's another Clark in Lex's life ... His ultimate dream was that Lex would someday forgive him, and they would become lovers. I really like Clark regretting the rift between them and then the rift healing, so that was nice. Sad about Clark not able to stay at the Planet, though good on him for quitting.

Hurt & Comfort by bipolypesca
Clark is usually very good at handling his speed and strength. Accidents do happen, however. Lex is visiting the farm when Clark zips in - and accidentally slams Lex into the wall, hurting him badly. Will Clark ever trust himself with a fragile human again? And how about with ... intimate things? Clark had come zooming down the stairs, apparently trying to make up for lost time, slammed into me full force, and, with the momentum, threw my body against the wall by the door, leaving an impressive Lex-Luthor-shaped crack in the wood. Interesting set-up. The story touches several interesting concepts. I did like the POV (in many stories I find it too repetative and off-putting, but this is one of the few stories I have liked it in). Poor Clark, but I'm glad it worked out for them.

Keep You Safe by GothGirl
Clark returns to Earth after a lengthy fight in space, to find that it is common knowledge that he's dating Lex Luthor. Which he isn't. It turns out that Lex has spread the rumour as someone wants to kill him and nobody messes with Superman's boyfriend. What will Clark do? Once he was soaring through the clouds the relief he'd felt at how easily Lex had agreed to end the false relationship quickly faded, leaving Clark with a sudden ache in his chest. Good story, I like the idea, nice end. Good humor too. I especially liked the part of Martha asking if the story about Lex carrying Superman's alien love child is true.

Kill Switch by Lady Angel
Lex finds out about Clark running for class president. Uh-oh ... Next thing, Clark is hiding in his parents room to get away from the circus. Jonathan suggests that Clark distracts Lex, so he does ... This is a high school election and he wants to bring in professionals! Sweet story, it makes me smile. Feels good.

Kissed By An Angel by Henry Jones Jr
Lex and Clark go to a masquerade together, as a devil and an angel. During the masquerade Lex is threathened, forcing Clark to reveal part of his powers to Lex. Lex's conclusion is not that of Clark being an alien. Lex's first assumption had been correct: Clark was an angel. Well-written, interesting read with a fresh tone and a nice feel to it. Amusing in parts, aww-worthy in others. Nice little adventure too and several nice lines.

Lex Luthor Stars In: The Thing That Ate Smallville by ingrid-matthews
A bowl of Jell-O and some kryptonite equals an alien monster trying to eat the Talon. Lex and Clark needs to deal with it. Luckily, Martha's pies conquers everything. Without Clark to beleive in him, to understand him and stand by his side, everything seemed pointless. Very cute story, several good lines. Funny, but also a bit angsty. Nice plot twists.

Little Green Men by Lapis Lazuli
Lex daydreams of Clark being the Imperious Leader of an alien invasion. The Imperious Leader orders Lex brought to his loft, naked, bound and gagged There were days that Lex Luthor was absolutely sure that the entire population of Smallville was composed entirely of aliens. Sexy, though mostly amusing in its irony.

Looks Like A Billion Bucks by X-parrot
Clark gets a CLUE. What he believed to be the way billionairs look at people turns out to actually be the way gay men checks him out! Aha! He considered a moment, then blurted out, "if I say, say, 'Let's have sex right now,' would you say--" Very cute story. A hint of angst too.

Low Men in Yellow Coats by zahra
Clark makes Lex go skating with him. Lex can't skate, but Clark can persuade him to almost anything. On the ice is Smallville Squirt Youth Hockey team - and one of them makes an interesting comment about Clark and his "boyfriend" ... This is the part where Clark is supposed to puff out his chest and assert his masculine heterosexuality, funny how the only thing Lex is hearing is Clark's mumbling being muffled by shrieking yellow demons. Sweet story that made me smile repeatedly. I like Clark's deviousness and Lex's obsessiveness. Cute with Fox and Dana. Sweet ending. Heh for Lex calling jihad on Clark's boyfriend.

Maybe Baby by Jas Masson
This story is a bit special, as Lex is adult, but - due to meteor dust - regresses to a child. And in Lex's weak moment Lionel attacks. It had only been when Clark had been reading an article in The Planet the next day about a society reception with the Mayor and a member of the British royal family that Clark had remembered that Lex should have been there, and had obviously blown it off for pizza and movies with Clark. I can't resist stories with children, either children to the characters or the characters when they are children. Very sweet story with large awww-factor. But also lovely trust between Lex and Clark. A little humor too, several good lines.

May Day by Tallihensia
Lex and Clark are estranged. For the last 15 years, on the 1st of May, Lex has sent Clark flowers. Suddenly, no flowers arrived. What has happened and what is Clark to do? I've never seen anybody else ever look at Lex like you do; like he's precious. Interesting story, nice "mystery" with a good solution. I also liked Lucas in this one. Nice humor too.

Memoirs of An Alien Who Fell To Earth by Dayspring
Clark looks back at pivotal points in his life. Especially one. The one thing I and a hundred thousand dollars worth of shrinks have learned about Lex, is that he bends, but never breaks. This is a strange story: when I look at it I don't want to reread it, but when I do reread it, I like it a lot and I wonder why I hesitated. One of my favorite parts in this one is Clark cooperating with Lionel to save Lex and Lionel being accepting - I have a very weak spot for that ... I also like Clark protecting Lex, as in taking control of his security.

Mercy by Koi
Lionel tells Lex that Clark isn't human. Clark is a data-gathering alien, likely the foregoer of invading forces. Lex believes him. They captures Clark and tortures him until he confesses. Afterwards, Lex treats him accordingly. But can you trust a tortured confession? And scanning Lex's face, it dropped to its knees in an instant, in a display of submission that would make any naturalist reach for his notebook. A bit difficult story for me. Dark, intense - but very good. I find that I hesitate to reread it, but once I do I'm captured by it again and enjoy it greatly, despite a darkness I seldom otherwise like. Well worth reading. Several good lines. Inspiring.

Normalcy is a Subjective Thing by RiseAgainPhoenix
Clark and Lex have a very complicated relationship as archenemies and they are not completely happy with things as they are. "Marry me or else I'll shoot you," Lex said, waving the gun for emphasis. Cute, amusing story. Several nice quotes.

Nothing Comes Easy by Elandria Lore
Clark is at work, when a tall, beautiful, bald woman enters the newsroom. He realises that it is Lex - an actually female Lex. "Are you telling me," Clark started, his voice low and dangerous, "That you let some witch turn you into a girl just so that, what, some guy would finally think you're happily ever after?" Good idea, well written. Tight story, good ending. Poor Lex, but logical and I do like the thought of that he is willing to change - awww.

Of Angels and Geeks by mako2
Lex wants something really bad and Clark gets it for him. Lex was definitely pouting. Fluffy, sweet little story. Definitelly Awww-worthy and heartwarming.

Omiai by Too Much Plor
Lex and Clark never meet in Smallville. When Clark leaves for Metropolis, he gets a Lexcorp scholarship - and a marriage proposal. Lex has been disinherited by Lionel, but if he stays married for a year he inherits 30 millions. So they get married, intending not to let anyone know. But is that all that is behind this? He shifted forward maybe an inch in his seat, moved his elbows some infinitesimally small distance and said, in this low purr, "You're attractive, believe me." Interesting story, nicely written, an enjoyable read.

On This Winter's Night With You by Digitalwave
Clark dies in the battle against Doomsday, but serveral months later Martha and Lex receives a strange letter from Lionel. No Mother should have to bury a child. Awww ... There's always hope. One of those stories that make you feel good.

Partners by Jezebel The Temptress
When Jonathan finds out that Clark has applied for business school at Met U he gets very angry. As Clark is over 18, he leaves his parents to move in with Lex. Not quite what Jonathan had in mind. Instead of becoming a journalist, Clark becomes a business man - and an honorary Luthor. Clark was the perfect blend of innocence and mercilessness - the type of heir that Lionel had once hoped his own son would be. Interesting story, nice development. I like Lionel in this story, even if he's not in it for long. The story plot felt fresh and I like reading about them going in a different direction than usual.

Perfect Day by Evangelene
It's Lex's birthday. Normally his birthdays suck. This year, though, his father gives him ... an icehockey team. And Clark has always wanted to go to an icehockey game! Yay! So they go ... You thought watching ET would be sufficient preparation for telling me that you are an alien? Sweet, funny story with secrets revealed and love.

Pharaoh by fairdrako AU
Julian as pharaoh of Egypt, Lex as his high priest and advisor, Lionel as kingsmaker. And Lucas, who kills Lionel and Julian and takes over. Lex is dumped for dead - and is rescued by Clark. Who Lex thinks just might be a god. Clark was like no one else and Lex felt as if every moment of his life had been leading to this thing he had never imagined, this need he had never known, a fullfillment he had never looked for. I'm usually not all that much into AUs, but this is a nice one. Interesting plot, well put together, works. Some Luthorcest.

Philalexandros by Henry Jones J:r
Clark needs Lex's help when Chloe is missing. He goes to him, despite the break between them when Clark discovered the Room. Lois goes with Clark and Clark explains to them both in exactly which way Lex is his best friend. “Every Alexander needs a Hephaestion, after all.” Sweet story. Good with the quotes. Nice touch of using Lois to witness. Makes me go aww with the Alexander line.

Policy of Truth by Azrielle
Lex is utterly used to getting into bad situations - and having Clark rescue him. Still, they're not really happy with this pattern in their life and so they decide to change some things. When you're Lex Luthor, you have to come to terms with the fact that sometimes when you wake up, you happen to be tied to a chair. Sweet story, nicely written. Some really good lines. Tight and with nice humor. A little aww-worthy here and there.

Promise by Ruby Series
Clark graduates and the boys move to Metropolis, and have adventures with would-be-assassins and AIs. He once promised Clark that he'd make sure everything would be okay and that was a promise he intended to keep, consequences and morals be damned! Very warm stories in this series, showing well the depth of friendship and love between the boys. Well-written, many good lines, humor too. I want more. Angst too. Sweet.

Property of ... by Hope
Lex starts stealing Clark's shirts. Well, he doesn't mean to at first, but later he does, he just can't resist. Luckily, no one notices - or do they? He shifted uncomfortably, and hoped Clark shared his mother's blindness to sudden, untamable erections. Aww-worthy, sweet story that always makes me smile. Very cute.

Ransom by La Casta
Clark and Lex finally get together - and the next day Clark disappear. Three years later, a bitter Lex gets contacted by a man who wants to sell Clark to him for a huge sum. Lex thinks it is a hoax, set up by Clark to get money. He wants revenge. Even if Clark had said no more sex, Lex still would have almost worshipped him, pouring everything at his feet, just to see that wondrous smile, the one he would have sworn couldn't be bought with money. Dangerous, dark Lex, but also a Lex that loves intensely. Very thoughtworthy. Interesting plot. Many good lines too.

Reconcilable Differences by Astolat
Superboy is in an accident, with a spinal injury as the result. He will be paralysed for life - until his "other father" decides to take a hand. Later, Kon works to get his fathers together. Kon's not so much the child of divorce as he is the child of an undeclared war. Sweet story. I especially like the trick of WoW played on Bruce, that really amused me. Several good lines. Interesting idea that Superboy could be in such an accident/so hurt. Neat with Lex stepping up to help.

Rescuing Others by Tallihensia
Long after Smallville, Lex Luthor and Superman are enemies. But one day, Clark receives a distress call from Lex, who desperately needs his help. After all this time, Lex still trusts Clark to come to his rescue. Clark hadn't even realized how much of Lex was made up of defence barriers until four little balls of fur had come up and knocked them down without even trying. Cute story. The cats were adorable and I really liked that Lex still trusts Clark. Sweet ending too. What I really liked, though, is the Smallville part of the story, that everyone in Smallville (except possibly Clark's parents) are mutants. Very interesting possibility and something I'd love to read more of.

Run by Dayspring
Lex is almost killed. Clark saves him - and they go on the run together, to keep Lex safe. Lex thought our friendship rested on the fact that I didn't see his faults as clearly as everyone else did, so he told lies or cleaned up the truth, trying to buy himself a little more time before the inevitable, i.e. I discovered the truth about him and kicked him out of my life. Warm story with an interesting plot, easily read, good feeling, several good lines. Nice feeling between the boys. I'd have loved to read more in this universe. Both boys well described. Cute with the ongoing head trauma. I liked Lionel in this one. "The Kent Express" always makes me smile. I also liked the touches at the end with Lex being good to people who helped them on the way.

Secrets, Lies & Misunderstandings by Mahaliem
Lex thinks Clark is gay, Chloe thinks Lex tutors Clark in chemistry, Pete thinks Lex knows about the alien thing and Clark thinks Lex is teaching him how to be an actor. All brain activity stopped when Lex's mouth touched his. Misunderstandings galore - which I like a lot (at least when they work out in the end and this one works for me). Fun too, and with some angst.

Seeing Red by Hope Roy
Lex wants to know Clark's secrets and give him a mixture of green and red kryptonite to lower his inhibitions and weaken him. They end up having sex. When Clark comes back to himself, he gets terrified that Lex knows his secret and will use it against him. Ruining someone's life wasn't amusing and if Lex thought it was, he was sicker than Clark had thought. The borderline non-con bothers me a bit, it's one of those things I have great difficulty with. But the part after that, with Clark scared of what Lex will do and Lex realising he has gone too far, that is very well done and a deliciously angsty read.

Sex and the Single Superhero by Cheryl Forbes
After several years apart, Lex steps back into Clark's life. There is only one problem: he wants Superman, not Clark. "We haven't spoken in five years and out of the blue you show up wanting to fold my laundry?" Batman also has a nice part, I like him. And the Voldemort joke always make me smile.

Smitten by JD
The aftermath after when Lex runs over Clark into the river, only a bit expanded with a conversation between Lex and Clark as they wait for paramedics. If eyes were truly the window to a person's soul then Clark had to be the best, purest, and most innocent soul he'd ever met. Sweet story, nicely written. This would have been such a lovely scene on screen ...

Somewhere I have never travelled by jenn
Clark has become human - and former arch-nemesis Lex Luthor is courting him like there's no tomorrow. For there might not be. A danger is coming. Oh, Lex may forgive him just about anything, but Clark's not sure that even love will be enough to forgive what Clark's about to do to his shoes. Interesting, different story, thoughtworthy, well plotted. With Bruce in it, which I like. A bit of humor to.

Stocks And Bonds of Holy Matrimony by Abi
Due to some severe misunderstandings, Lex is getting a very bad reputation, for being a homophobe among other things. LuthorCorp stock is plummerting. When Clark accidentally gives the impression that he and Lex is a couple, however, things rapidly change. Only, he and Lex isn't a couple. Even my lawyers don't believe I'm not sleeping with you. Very amusing, clever story. Nice solution. I like the openess of the end, the sweet rapport between them and cute about Lena.

Storm Warning Series:C.Roxane (Not available on-line, may not be shared.)
Lex is trying to get closer to the people in Smallville, to start his power base there. Meanwhile, Clark is getting more and more obsessed with him, until he can no longer control himself. Lex's terror was replaced almost immmediately by the most glorious sense of satsifaction, not to mention lust. Classic Smallville story with many of the key ingrediences I like. Unperfect sex, alien!Clark, ruthless Lex, caring Jonathan. I even like Lionel in it.

Story of a Life by Ryu I and Cassiopeia
Lex writes his name on Clark's body - and it won't come off. Which is an interesting way to discover that your lover isn't human ... Lex is more a fortress romantic than a closet one. Cute story. Several good lines. Funny.

Stray by Sue_Dreams
It's Halloween. Clark gets a costume that makes him turn into different types of animals - a wolf, a dog, a cat, a lion ... when he's a dog he's rescued by Lex and taken to the castle. The problem is not only the costume, though. The cats of Smallville have developed psycic powers and a hive mind. They're revolting against the human overlord and dog oppressors, intending to rule Smallville. Feline freedom! If they gave him Clark's origin, his heritage, and all his powers, would he still want Clark? Interesting sub-plot with the cats, very much like one of those things that could be Tuesday in Smallville and something like that would have been fun to see on the show. Nice between Lex and Clark, good humor too. Poor Jonathan, a lot to take in. Heh for Clark thumping his tail hard enough to crack marble. Aww for Clark showing Lex his secret.

Subjugated by Peach
Clark was never sent to Earth. His people take over the earth and Lex becomes his consort. Interludes with different pairings.He had been clinging to the time they had spent together, convinced that he would have to live on the memories alone for the balance of his life. I especially like Thor's Consort and Jhan's Tale. Sweet with standing up for love, even against the object of one's love. Honor, self-sacrifice, sweet. Some nice angst. AU.

Switch: A Comedy of Terrors by RivkaT
The boys unexpectedly switch bodies. So Clark has to play Lex for a few days and Lex discovers that Clark's body isn't exactly standard. As much as he liked Clark, which was roughly as much as he liked breathing, he wanted his own life back. It's great fun - and interesting - to see the boys explore each other's lives - and get together in the process. Fresh, very interesting idea. Inspiring. Humor too. Several good lines.

Taken by Lenore AU
Clark is stalked by a girl, so Lex suggest that he poses as Clark's boyfriend to scare her off. Things get rather realistic. It appeared Lex had a lot of ideas about how Clark's boyfriend should behave. Cute story and I like the theme. Nicely executed. And good ending.

Tardiness by Kel
Lionel Luthor of Smallville has a relationship with the devil of Brimstone. Things get hot ... Time to give the devil his due. Lionel did have a very healthy fear of Satan; not the usual Christian fear of hell and damnation, but the fear of a man who walked a razor's edge of control with the powerful being in front of him and who didn't want to ultimately lose the balance of power. I really like Smallville/Brimstone crossovers and this is an interesting one for sure. Really hot scenes and in character.

The Best Day in The History of Mankind by Suz
Lex has a very bad day. so he does what relaxes him the most - he spies on Clark. Clark didn't even have to be aware of it, he simply had to be, and Lex's Very Bad Days invariably turned into Very Good Days Indeed. Sweet story, it really makes me smile to read. Aww-worthy and still in character. I would have liked to see their future like this. Good use of both characters.

The Business Offer by Henry Jones Jr
Lex thinks he can't have Clark, so he at least want to help him and his family. Thus he makes them a business offer. Then he does something stupid and has an asthma attack. His head swelled with emotions he didn't normally feel, usurping his usual self-control and, before he realised what he was doing, he leaned over and kissed Clark on the lips. Vulnerable Lex, trying to help, awww ... A really sweet story, some angst, I like.

The Butterfly Effect by The Spike
Lex invents a drug to see the future. All possible futures, actually. Only, each and every one of them ends in horror ... Can't quite wrap his head around the idea of a man loving another man like he loves Martha, but he has no trouble imagining anyone loving Clark. Very interesting concept, nice plot, I like the idea. Fresh. I especially like Jonathan in this one. Inspirational.

The Camping Series by Helena Handbasket
Clark and Lex is out camping and share secrets. A wave of sickly terror swept over Clark as he realized that while it was possible that he would survive the fall, Lex most certainly would not. Rather sweet, though my favorite part of the story is the way Clark choses to reveal his secret - and the repercussions thereof. This I always felt was inspiring. I would like to write something of the idea I get when I read this, but I never got around to it. Several good lines. And I like the idea of Lex having an "Hephaestion account".

The Fetish Drabbles by Lady Angel
A series of fun drabbles, based on short quotes from other fics. "You're wearing clothes again," he growled. Some of these are truly hilarious. Good idea, too.

The Hunter and The Alien by Bev Too
Clark goes to Stanford to visit his uncle, when he unexpectedly gets attacked by a ghost - and saved by a Winchester. Sam and Clark hit it off really well and soon they know each other's secrets. Well, perhaps not Sam's attraction to his brother, but at least the whole Clark is an alien part. Years later, Sam gets invited to a party at Lex's mansion. Maybe he can help Lex get a Clue. As long as he doesn't know about my feelings, I can still at least have him as a friend. Cute story with the two worlds of alien and supernatural colliding nicely, though both boys have pasts that probably make them fairly used to the unexpected. Hot between Clark and Sam, sweet on the other pairings. Cute end.

The Identical Series by Lanning Cook
Lionel has Lex cloned, but that dosn't go too well. The clone has faulty memories and is mentally instabile, though it is still fascinated by Clark, if not in an entirely good way. The real Lex Luthor is hiding with the Kent family. He and Clark are starting a relationship. Both Lionel and the clone are after him. Lucky, Lex and the Kents has Eli Cohen on their side. He's seen me commit arson, grand larcery and commit cold-blooded murder, and he loves me. WIP. Very interesting idea. Nice writing. I enjoy following the adventures. I especially liked Eli, wonderful character. I always wondered if he is from some other show or books or if he is original, but either way he is really neat. Max I like too. I like how Clark keeps saying that the clone doesn't look anything like Lex. Aso the strong women. And Clark running like a glass Porche. Nice development of the relationship. I did feel a bit sorry for the clone. Nice humor too. I liked the way people found out about Clark. Several good lines. Good use of the characters. Nice angst. I do hope it will continue. WIP.

The Kissing Game by Kel
Clark has an idea. He needs to learn how to kiss - and who better to teach him than Lex? Especially since it is Lex he does want to kiss. So he goes to the mansion to ask. Seriously, completely, thoroughly, totally, not-even-Lana-in-wet-red-panties-could-get-him-going gay. Cute story, but with interesting revelation of alien origins, a bit of angst, and alien mating behavior, which all in all makes it a good read.

The Prometheus Project by Mistress Ace
As Lex listens over the phone, strangers attack the Kent farm, kidnapping Clark, Martha and Jonathan. Lex starts to investigate, but finds no tracks for a long, long time. When he finally does, the truth might be more horrible than he feared. The Kents had hidden the world's second greatest discovery in among their winter preserves. The greatest discovery, they'd raised as their own son. Angsty, dark, interesting. Several good lines. A third book was promised, but I haven't seen it. I really would have loved to read more in this universe, perhaps more of a conclusion. Still, read-worthy and full of emotions.

The Promise Of Tomorrow by Keikokin
Lionel's dead. In his papers Lex finds information regarding Clark's adoption. When he brings this up with the Kents, they at first think he is blackmailing them. And he does have a few demands. Will they be able to meet them? I know about your adoption, Clark, and used it as leverage to be allowed to help protect your secret and to allow me to be a part of your life. I'm very weak for such stories, with misunderstandigns and suspicions - and good resolutions. I did like that Lionel's death was not a focus of the rest of the story, just a starting point, life is like that, sometimes. Sweet that Clark understands Lex. Good feel.

The Proposition by Emelerin
A woman offers Clark a million dollars to have sex with her. Affronted, he tells Lex, anticipating Lex's reaction. To his surprise, Lex doesn't react. But does Lex really don't mind? Problem was, of course, that Clark was a permanent resident on planet weird, and if Lex had decided tomove on, that left him there alone, more alone than ever. Aww-worthy story, very sweet. I really like it. Always makes me smile. Many nice lines.

Alien Biology Is Hard by Leonore
Clark is finally about to have sex with Lana. Only, it doesn't really go all that well - it ends with Lana running away. Lex finds out and offers to help check if Clark is able to have sex with humans. The things you do for friends ... You know, Clark, I truly appreciate that you've refused to draw any conclusions from the fact that I spend the GDP of a small country on clothes and my favorite color is lilac. I really like stories in which Clark's alienness shows. This is a very nice one. Poor Clark, I really felt with him. Lana too, even if I don't particularily like her. Good on Lex. Nice humor mixed in with the more serious parts.

The Terrible Conflagration Up at the Place by Zahra
Lex wants to cook for Clark, but he is very, very bad at it. Then Clark comes to "help" him and things progress. "I'm not impotent - I mean incompetent." This story probably has the most great lines packed in the shortest space of any I've read. Very funny and works really well.

The Whammy by ingrid-matthews
A woman uses kryptonite powers to bind Lex to her. Clark is very annoyed, especially since no one else seems aware of what happens. Apart from Satan. On the night of the rehearsal dinner, Clark discovered he'd gained the most unlikely ally of all - Lionel Luthor. Cute little story, a bit aww-worthy. I especially liked Lionel in this one. Nice humor, good ending.

Three Impossible Things by Jenn
Clark finally realises he wants Lex. Clark is being jealous of what looks like Lex being in a serious relationship. "I've never been anyone else's. Inspiring. Awww ... Sweet story. But most of all I adore Lex's response to someone telling him that he isn't Clark's (see the quote above).

Will to Bend by Nifa_Idril
Lionel has told Lucas that he is under Lex's protection. Lucas decided that he must do anything to make sure Lex wants to continue to protect him. He'll pitch, he'll catch, he'll even answer to the name 'Clark' and wear flannell and pretend to be thousand kinds of innocent that he's never, ever been. Delicious hint of preceived future non-con, which I like.

Wishful Thinking by HYPERFocused
Kryptonite-affected turkey makes everyone's wishes come true. Clark and Lex have argued. Then Lex comes, forgiving and loving ... He'd even made the candied sweet potatoes himself, using his heat vision. Cute story. A little angsty, nicely so.

Worship by MidKnight
Basically, Lex touching Clark's hair and Clark letting him. The question was tentative, though the word seemed wrong to describe anything Lex Luthor did. Technically perhaps not slash, more like very intimate friendship, possibly even smarm, but it feels very good to me. I like it a lot. Sweet, with a hint of angst.

Zero Effects by danceswithgary
Lex wakes up with amnesia - every day. He only remembers up to hitting Clark on the bridge. Each morning he listens to himself telling himself all he remembers. The computer tells him he can trust a Clark Kent. I got to fly to the Arctic and checkout alien technology with a fashion-challenged superhero in primary colours. Very interesting storyline. Fresh story.

The Sentinel Disclaimer and information A show that still is dear to my heart. And I still think it is good and far from deserving of some of the dissing I hear sometimes.

The 'Actor & Jockey' Series by alyjude added 140604
AU in which James Ellison is a famous Hollywood actor. He comes to Bank's Folly, a racehorse farm owned by one of the wealthiest men in Cascade, Simon Banks (and his lover, Joel Taggart). There he meets Simon and Joel's son, Blair Sandburg, an equally famous jockey. They instantly connect, but someone is out to sabotage Blair's big race. What is happening and can their new love surviva? Simon had been standing only a few feet from the two men when they'd first touched via the simple gesture of a handshake, but he would swear to his dying day, with his last breath, that something had been created when Blair's hand had slipped into Jim's larger one. Solid AU with good use of canonical characters. Nice descriptions of environments, both the race horse farm and the movie making. Several nice lines. Interesting set-up with the different backgrounds. Good adventures too. I like the ease with which they come together. My favourite character, though, is GM, he really caught my interest with his story. I don't know much about either race horses or movie making, but what was described sounded believable.

Two Faces by alyjude added 140514
AU in which the FBI realises that Jim Ellison is a doubleganger of a Jim O'Keefe, a mafioso who are setting up in Cascade. O'Keefe died in an accident, so they send in Ellison to replace him. It all goes well until the mafioso's toy boy - one Blair Sandburg - realises that "O'Keefe" is not who he says he is. Now what? As he was rolled out of the house, he kept his eyes locked on Jim and God, how he would have loved to have heard that voice again and felt that -- touch -- one more time. Interesting set-up for an AU. I liked the mystical aspects of Blair's foreknowledge, even if it led him astray initially. I did feel bad for him, of course, and with the fire too - good nod to canon, though. The gifts he got and his happiness was lovely, it made me happy to read. Good set-up with the death of "Jim" in the beginning, had me worried for a moment. I would have thought some co-worker of Morrisons would have seen something about Ellison in the magazines and connected him to O'Keefe, but it is plausible that no one did, so it works. I liked the Naomi-Morrison thing and wondered a little if there was more in the making there. Heh for Blair knowing so much and also for his knowledge being of use to Jim. Awww for the Jim liking leeches thing. Several good images and good nods to canon, also a bit of humor. The substory with Orvelle Wallace was very sweet and moving. I also liked the idea of the gift basket making business, nice touch.

The Visitor by alyjude added 140514
Blair's away. Jim's watching a Jags game, when he's suddenly no longer alone. A five-year-old Blair visits him. How will this go? Why is the young Blair there? And is he just a hallusincation? i know that if i ever get a true friend, i will treasure him or her, and be the best i can be and protect them, and be true to myself. if that's not enough – then they aren't my friend. Blair of five is very sweet, yet very him: believable and in character. Good message, but also a nice dash of angst at the worrying why Blair might be visiting in this shape. Good on Jim for handling Blair's concerns of reading - no such thing as "too many" books! Good touch with the marble.

A Good Read by alyjude added 140514
So, Blair goes to the Police Academy. He's not harassed, but everyone ignores him. He does well. Very well; he would have graduated at the top of his class. Except that they won't allow him to graduate with the others. And Blair is angry. Angry that Jim really believed that Blair would sell his dissertation. Jim doesn't know him as well as Blair would like. Is he right? And then Jim overreads Blair's journal, reading how he truly feels about what happened. How will he react? He'd threatened to pull his friendship over the first chapter of the infamous dissertation, he'd thrown him out of his home, and again threatened to pull his friendship after finding out about Alex, always the friendship, always pulling it, like it was tangible, like there was no room for mistakes, like telling Blair, "Play by my rules and I'll be your friend, but if you don't, you're history", when what he should have been saying was, "I'm your friend for life, it's unconditional, like my love." Interesting take on the Police Academy thing. I found Blair's take on Jim's reaction to the dissertation refreshing. Neat subplot with the hostage taking and I love the resolution: go Blair! Really nice, that bit. Good use of Joel. Yay for the end.

Best Laid Plans by alyjude added 140514
Valentine's Day. Neither Jim nor Blair has a date. But Blair has a plan, so they won't seem like total losers to their colleagues. He proposes that they will each act as the other's secret admirer, sending flowers and so on. So he does, with gusto. Jim doesn't, but soon starts feeling like he should. How can he make things up to Blair - and does Blair have any secondary motives with his plan? I decided that the women of Cascade are idiots, and that if they can't see a good thing right under their noses, well, I can. Cute story that made me smile. Yay for Almond Roca, my favourite candy and I finally have a good supplier for it. Heh for Major Crime going into the florist business.

Resolutions by alyjude added 140327
Jim has planned that New Year's Eve will be the day he finally confesses his feelings for Blair. Only his intentions are dashed when he learns that Blair has a date for New Year. But what is Blair's thoughts on the matter? And what's up with Blair not being invited to the upcoming Cascade's PD New Year's Eve dance? After all, if one member of their team had not been invited, then none of them were invited. Nice misunderstandings. Good feel between Jim and Blair but I especially liked the rest of the gang backing up Blair. Good use of Connor. Good plot device with the car accident, it gave good pause to the story and hightened the tension. The way Jim found Blair at the hospital made me smile. The betting pool is always amusing.

Christmas Eve by alyjude added 140325
Blair has left Cascade. He and Jim are in steady contact, but just before Christmas Jim can no longer contain himself. He calls Blair, begging him to come home. And, of course, Blair wants nothing more. Soon he's on his way, with an ETA just in time for Christmas. Jim comes to the airport to pick him up - but something is wrong with the plane ... Will Christmas end in disaster? I've never called him from work, but right now, my fingers are itching and my arm is straining under the pull as I hold back, muscles clenched in the refusal to give in to this need. Good story with nice feeling. I'm very weak for "others find out about Jim's senses"-stories. Sweet withJim telling Blair even knowing others hear him, I liked that. I'm not entirely sure why, but I did like Mike Gallagher. Aww for Jim having missed the key basket. Nice dash of humor with the antlers and so on.

Dress For Success by alyjude added 140311
An old army buddy of Jim's comes to Cascade, intending to make Jim his. Only, Blair has just relaised that he loves Jim. Let the game begin and may the best man win. Having Jim's body over his was like being under the covers on a cold winter morning when you're feeling warm and soft and safe. Not that the guy ever had a chance against our Blair, but at least he seemed to be a fairly good guy and I do approve of him giving Blair something to work against. Good image of BLair and his clothes. Hot too. Nice dash of humor and good voice, especially for Blair. The stairs joke actually made me laugh, which is not easy. I like the little looks into Blair's mind, like with the snake conversation. Never underestimate Blair, but I did like Brian's tactic to go honest.

Bluffing with the Big Guys by alyjude added 140311
Finally, Blair will be allowed to the Major Crimes Poker Night. However, when he realises that some of the guys have certain prejudices and preconceptions in regards to him, he decides to ploay them all a trick ... But I gotta tell ya', H, I was really looking forward to watching the Junior Hippie-Cop Wannabe swimming around with the sharks tonight, trying to play with the grownups. Good humor and definitelly something I could see Blair doing. Cute how he argues with the Corvair. Heh for Junior Hippie AntroKid. Cute end.

-30- by alyjude added 140226
Blair's approaching 30 and decides to make changes in his life. He can't change where he works or lives, due to Jim. But he can cut his hair, buy other clothes and change the Volvo for a motorbike. However will the others - Jim especially - react? And will they react at all, considering that all of them forgot his birthday? Simon had finally, after over three years, realized that Blair Sandburg was deeper than the Mariannas Trench. Interesting story that resonated with me as I for much too long have considered my life and improvements I should like to make in it. I also like that changes are not all to the better, even if some of them could be incredible. Some of the things Blair did made me cringe slightly, since I love him so much like he is, so that added to the depth of the story (a good thing). A little sad about even Naomi not wishing him a happy birthday (even if she wrote). Good that everything led to what it did, though. Heh for his students celebrating Blair in the past.

Panther Tales by Saraid added 130716
The government captures Jim and Blair and performs terrible experiments on them. They escape at a high cost, but they are shadows of the men they were. Much later we meet them again as Panther, a legendary mercenary for hire, and Chief, his shadow, who can't function without him, but in return has some very special powers. They are bent and changed, but not broken. And maybe there's a future for them. They will always be together, despite everything. I love to say I love you and hear the words in my ears as well as my head and my heart. A very strong story. When I first read it, many years ago, I couldn't quite stomach the dark parts, but rereading it now, many years later, I find it very compelling and deep. A good, gripping story with powerful subjects of power, love and loyalty. Good adventure stories too and a good, suitable ending. I like Cullen a lot, his presence as an outsider adds considerably to the story. Raman too. I found Chief borrowing words and vision very interesting. I really liked how Blair was able to lecture again, in a way. That National Security -book sounded good.

21 Days by Legion
Jim and Blair's relationshop breaks up. Jim moves out of Cascade. Blair finds him. Jim has been waiting for this. He'll convince Blair that all is fine and 21 days later he will kill himself. I don't have the courage to walk away from you a second time. Interesting. Heart touching. Inspiring. Very interesting set-up. Powerful. Aww-worthy with a nice dose of angst. Tearsworthy. Imperfect sex.

An Innocent Man by alyjude
Jim is totally innocent. Everything's Blair's fault. And I've found a whole new food group, top of the pyramid, Blair food. Heh.

Alteration in Consciousness by Brak
Jim gets dosed with some kind of gas. He starts shooting at people. Simon calls in Blair. "My Blair!" he shouted to the startled youg man. "Get your own." Jim is awww-worthy in his drugged state - sweet, possessive and horny. As they are not a couple yet this is something I like. And then the next day ... Awww ... and cute. A hint of angst.

Awakening by The Tenth Muse1
After camping alone for several days, Tony returns home a changed man - a very sensitive one ... Gibbs take care of him, with some help from an ex army ranger with an anthropology sidekick. And if that really was a preview of hell, then he was damned sure going to Mass on Sunday and bringing Gibbs with him. Cute. All fandoms need a crossover like this to the Sentinel. Interesting idea, I've let it (partly) inspire me to one of my own stories. Aww for Tony trying to protect "his" guide from strange sentinels.

Away from the Monsters by Marion Seaton
Channel 13's All Night Horror Movie Film Festival and much too much sugar makes Blair hyped and scared of monsters. Jim must protect. Blair exited his room carrying a baseball bat, "Sanity is subjective." Cute, funny and silly (in a good way!).

Better Vampire Career Choices by Roque
Blair amuses the precinct with a list of "Things I will Do If I Am Ever The Vampire." If the Hero has to cross open ground, there is no better way to reach out and touch someone than with a sniper rifle. Several funny ones.

Bid him come or bid him stay by Legion
Crippled Jim returns to Cascade after the army and rents the loft. What he doesn't know then is that the former owner - one Blair Sandburg - is haunting the place. Of course, there's more to the story than this. Interesting. A bit of mysticism. Inspiring. What if my belief that I'm alive is the only thing keeping me here? Good use of canon as to what would have happened if Jim and Blair hadn't been in Cascade for some vital keypoints. A little angst.

Lost and Found by Caro Dee
Jim is still in the army. Away from base one evening he meets a young man named Blair, who shows him what he has been missing out on. The night is highly enjoyable. They part ways, but afterwards Jim miss what he briefly had. If I thought my cock was hard before, I was wrong. Nicely done. A bit of a shame it was never finished, for I really would have liked to read the final part, but still a nice read. Very well done sex scene.

Charmed by Texas Ranger
Jim has a really bad day and his colleagues fear he will kill Blair when Blair bops in. The men huddled together for support and prepared to duck under the nearest desk when pieces of anthropologist went flying. Cute in an awww way.

The Christmas Elf by Lady Ra
AU in which Jim doesn't meet Blair during the pilot. Instead his problems gets worse. The only bright spot in his life is going to a mall and look at where children can meet Santa. Not due to the children or due to Santa - but due to one of the Christmas elves, who have a strangely compelling allure. It felt like what Christmas was all about, his own private untarnished, peace on earth, good will to all mankind spot, and it all centered around the short hairy elf. Aww-worthy story, warm end with a dash of humor. Poor Jim, but a good ending for him. Nice descriptions of how Jim's senses troubles him. Aww for the courting gift-engagement fantasy of his - so sweet. Nice description of Blair too, he comes very alive. Heh for the sweeter deal joke. I do like the idea that they are fated to get together sooner or later.

Click-Click by alyjude
POV of a reporter who ends up seeing a miracle. A kidnapped girl flees, only to get caught by the most dangerous enemy of all -Mother Nature. And Jim and Blair is there to rescue her. But not all go well. The hole was destroyed, Detective Sandburg gone. Interesting story, original and strong. Good use of canon. Gives me a bit of good shives, this one. Tearworthy, though in a good way.

Degrees of Truth by Sorka
Jim has a secret and his past has come back to haunt him. He's part of a powerful organisation and now they need him back. Blair won't let him go alone. The impulse died stillborn as both men before Jim knelt one at a time, kissed the ring and said, "I pledge my lovyalty to you, Elder." Very interesting story, building well on top of canon and adding depth to the personalities. One of those stories you wish for sequels to, though it doesn't need it, as it is well rounded in itself. Fresh, original story. I also like how it doesn't focuse too much on Jim's senses, but is a very good story anyway.

Dogsenads by Jane Mailander
AU in which everyone are dogs. Still, the pack of Protectors room the city of Cascade, defending civilians. Jim is an Altesian. When his senses starts going crazy, he decides to kill himself, as he must have rabies. Only, when he jumps into traffic, he is saved by a yappy Spaniel. But Spaniel's fanning tail stopped in pure astonishment, and for once my silky partner had nothing to say, when I was the first of the Protectors to roll over and bare my throat to him. So funny, yet well written and interesting. Trut both to canines and to the fandom. Very nice ending. I like the "sharp-nose" bit, and the replacement of bitch for woman, that worked well. Poor Peke ... Interesting with the bitches (apart from Collie) in a pack of their own. Cute with Altasian licking Spaniel in approval, awww ... I remember these stories being posted to Senad, they were a treat.

Don't Mess Around With Jim by Karen
The gang at Major Crimes gets a message and believes Blair has been kidnapped. They start turning Cascade upside down to get him back. And thus began the worst day of Detective James Ellison's life. Fun, fresh, half-hysterical Jim always nice. Me likes.

Eau de Pheromone by Cenlyn
Jim gets a potion from the Chopecs - it makes him irresistable to all men. Even Blair declares his love. Now what will Jim do? Jim felt Brown slap his back as he passed him, but his smile faded as the officer's handd rifted to brush his ass lightly as he walked away. Angsty. Inspiring. But fun as well.

Everything's Jake by alyjude
Blair leaves Jim (they're not a couple yet) and moves away. In the new place he meets 4-year-old Jake and they form a strong bond. Jim gets back into Blair's life and things start happening. He'd tried so hard, in the last weeks, to get Blair to come home under the guise of watching a game, or working on the new stereo cabinet or any other excuse he could think up - so that he'd have that scent, so that the loft wouldn't seem so empty. Long, lovely story with one of my favorite OCs, Jake. Sweet, adorable an emotional. While I've reread it several times, it still makes me cry, in a good way. Also heartwarming. And a bit angst too.

Furbys Need Love Too by Shanny Girl Curses universe
James has been transformed into a panther. Blair is away, but Jim finds a new friend. The furby was talking and chatting away, an the more it talked, the more Jim purred. Aww ...

Getting there by Karen
Jim is out of town and Blair is taken hostage. Something he is very used to by now ... The perp is horrified when he realises who Blair is - Jim's reaction to getting Blair kidnapped has become legend in Cascade. Gavin, a man that 30 seconds ago had assumed his life couldn't possibly get any worse, realised that he had committed the worst mistake it was possible to make when you were a professional criminal in Cascade. Funny story with several great lines. Very sweet, even if more serious later on.

Guides by Dolimir
Jim speculates on the nature of guides. While every guide I have run into could technically qualify as good, they don't necessarily guide good people. Jim's speculating is interesting in itself, but I'm partial to the story within, of how a crime lord has his guide kidnapped and retaliates in force. Oh well, I've always been attracted of a bit of danger.

Haunting by Lianne Burwall
Jim and Blair still work together. They are still lovers. However, nowadays Blair is a bit, well ... unvital. As in, well: You know, I really would have expected Jim to fall apart, last year, after Blair died. Inspiring. Very cute story.

Heroes 18 by YS McCool AU
SciFi setting with the crew on a spaceship - with a bunch of supercool action figures portraying various series by the author such as Chayenne. If there was any justice, they would have fallen in bed together because I'd awakened something ... forbidden between them. Fun, sweet, different. A little confusing, no doubt, if you haven't read the other 17 parts, but 18 is really my favorite.

Ice by Legion
Fire, Ice and Wind. Blair is walking a dangerous path when a sudden presence helps him on his way. The unseen companion is a tall, strong male. Soon Blair even hears a voice - the man's name is Jim. Later on, Blair is in a position to repay the favor. Jim and Blair had a powerful connection long before they ever met. Instead he cradled Blair's head in his hands, forehead-to-forehead with him, and stared into his face, remembering, remembering, remembering... and loving with all he had. Interesting series with good spiritual images and nice, vivid language. Good connection between the boys, very intimate. I liked the plots too, thought-worthy. A fourth story would be nice, but the series is good as it is. Blair getting his juice spiked resonated with me, because that nearly happened to me once, icky ... Nice touch of Jim's past making him immune to the rants of the speaker trying to get to Blair.

In Vodka Veritas by Gloria Lancaster
Blair gets drunk and Jim is called to pick him up. Things are revealed. Erm, Blair's in a little trouble, man, he's - he's hiding under a desk and refusing to come out until someone called Blessed comes and gets him. Cute drunk Blair. Several nice quotes in this one.

Jake & Jesse by Dolimir
Alyjude's stories about Blair and Jim's son, Jake, is among my favourite stories in the Sentinel fandom. In this spin off we see Jake's sister, James, from when she comes to the family until the family is confirmed by her wedding. Once when she was little, her Pop had told her that whenever she needed to find her center, all she had to do was listen to the beat of her Dad's heart. Sweet story. Really nice dynamic between the children as well as between the children and Blair and Jim. Cute with Tommy and Jake conspiring against James's date. I liked how James's names forms the new name and it is Jim's name too - nice touch. Sweet when Jake finds James and Jim tries to break it slowly to Blair. Very likeable OCs. Good resolution. Nice humor .Jim protective of his daughter always makes me smile. I also liked Tony asking to marry James on the day 16 years later as Jim told him he could.

Kids Under 12 drink free by Mallory Klohn
Jim and Blair goes to Las Vegas. They play in the casinos. It doesn't go too well for Blair, but Jim has a good thing going. So very cute how he plays and gives Blair the quarters he win, "sugar daddy" even if there's no love going on. "I see you peeking at my ass, you fucking, dirty-minded, nasty little pig." Sweet, humorous story. Several nice quotes. One of my favorites.

Curses by Sorka
Blair buys Jim a bracelet -only this gift has unforseen consequences, as wearing it is a test of relationships and Jim turns into a panther. Only Jim and Blair isn't in a relationship - yet, and even if they might be interested in pursuing a relationship, now what will they do? There was something about being naked with this symbol of raw power which made him feel at once vulnerable, yet totally safe. Very interesting shifter-story. Very boldly written, nice language, good hint of the panther in Jim's personality when he is the panther, very well blended. An inspiration.

Lifebond by Calicocat
In this AU Sentinels are sold as little other than slaves. Blair reluctantly attends the annual Cascade Sentinel Auction. He's there to help a friend get a scoop, but ends up with a previously very abused military Sentinel - James Ellison. THere were times and places for defiance; this was neither. A bit dark, but then brightens. Very interesting, I like it a lot and I do hope for more of it eventually.

Match Made by Legion
Jim is undercover. Simon and Blair learns of a threat towards him - so Blair goes in, also undercover, to warn him. Blair's captured. To avoid one of the bad guys, Jim pretends to going to use Blair for sex - only things get a bit too realistic. And Jim is hiding a big secret - how will Blair handle this? And maybe Blair has a big secret of his own ... Thinking dimly that Blair kissed like he did everything else in his life, whole heartedly and with enthusiasm, he tried to make it a gentle one at first. I remembered this story from when I first got into the fandom, many years ago. It amused me then and made me smile, and it still does. Good point to have Blair record message under the music. The condom thing made me smile as well as the fear of the bad guy on seeing Jim's assets.

Meditations on Childhood by kungfunurse
Already as children Jim and Blair had a connection. The story followes them from Blair as a baby over the years. I especially like the part where Jim's in the rangers and when all his team members come back insane from a mission, he was the only one who was cleared for field work again, because ...: "I survived, because my imaginary friend held my hand the entire time." I'm rather weak for well-written stories of the characters as children/younger. And the mythical stuff and bonds also appeals to me. Also a hint of angst. Inspiring story.

Mistaken Identity by Bluewolf
Blair gets kidnapped. The kidnapper wants to blackmail Jim to help a criminal he caught, or else they will hurt his friend. Only ... Jim hasn't even met Blair. Cold, hard, it was the look of a man who could - and would - kill, ruthlessly and efficiently, if he felt the situation called for it; and for a brief moment he felt a touch of sympathy for Oliver Finnison and whoever had kidnapped the unknown man they believed was Ellison's 'friend'. Interesting AU. I like the idea, it felt fresh, very thought-worthy, even inspiring. I liked Davis too, nice OMC. Nice read.

Moonhunt by Dolimir AU
Blair Sandburg is hunted by a pack of Sentinels that wants him. The city is guarded by Sentinels, but after dark on a full moon, everyone still outside is offering themselves as guides. But Blair doesn't want to be a guide. Jim is the alpha sentinel of Cascade - and unbonded. Of course, it's not just "that simple". Blair is a shaman - and potentially much more than just a guide - he could be a pack guide - even maybe a clan guide ... The Sentinels are determined to have Blair, as it haven't been a clan guide in the northwest for over a century. He would either be the clan guide and face the demons of his past, or he would face a liftetime of fighting off sentinels. Interesting AU. A bit awww-worthy.

Obfuscator by fc7
Girls are interested in Blair and Jim has to work hard to discourage them. "I didn't know you were into that. Fun and - yes, I could completely see Jim do this.

Olives by Aouda Fogg
Jim and Blair is eating when Blair gives Jim his olives and Jim realises that they are a couple. That there were times when he wanted complete silence when he came home, and times when he wanted to be silent, but that the constant chatter Blair provided was the only thing keeping him sane. Cute story that made me smile. Epiphanies are like that, suddenly yet logical in a strange way. This felt natural. Amusing, but not contrieved.

One Kind Deed by Dolimir
Ranger Ellison, King Simon of Cascadia's personal trouble-shooter, searches Cascadia for the king's son's missing birthstone. He finds B'lair Woodfoxen, a thief and elf, and enlists his help in finding the stone. But there is a lot about the elf that the ranger does not know, things that will have repercussions on the entire world. B'lair wrapped his arms around the warrior and held him tight, wanting to believe they’d have an eternity, but knowing his destiny, whether he wanted to face it or not, would be determined once they reached Spokane. AU. Nice fantasy! I like how The Sentinel characters were used for this. Normally I'm not all that much into AUs, but this worked very well for me. Interesting stories too, well connected. A nice read.

Partners by Josephine Darcy
Rafe and Brown gets the bright idea that they will take Blair along on a case. They will soon regret themselves. And Jim is not happy. Things get rapidly out of hand. Hand genades, lions, drug labs, car chases, kidnappings, jumping off buildings. He hadn't the foggiest idea what Blair was saying, but it sounded perfectly scientific and therefore reasonable. Sweet and very funny story. A little silliness, but overall fun. Inspiring.

Progeny by YS McCool Part of Chayenne universe. J/B/S
Jim, Blair, Simon and a huge, extended family, including several interesting OCs - Tank being my personal favorite. In this one Jim gets a shock - finding out that he has a ten year old son. "If I told you, I'd have to lick you to death," Jim growled. I'm a sucker for stories with children in them. A bit complicated if you haven't read the rest of the series. A bit of mysticism. And sex. And fun.

Quack by Legion
Jim Ellison is on bodyguard duty for a 'flash'in'the'pan, self-important, egocentrical celebrity' - also homophobic. Jim and Blair isn't in a relation yet, but play things that way just to annoy the guy. Of course, thins go from there. "On second thought," Blair mumbled for Jim, "can I help you hide the body?" A bit sweet silliness. Several nice quotes. Inspirational story. Fun. Besides - 'quack' means 'I love you'.

Sentinel School Universe by Lady Ra
Blair is kidnapped by a madman who collects Sentinels and needs a guide for them (a guide is much rarer than a sentinel). Blair learns that Guides and Sentinels can bond and if five unbonded Sentinels are together, they will put out a call for guides. And there are more of both sentinels and guides than Blair could have dreamed about. Later, he and Jim starts up a school for Sentinels and guides. "So how is it, Simon," Jim interrupted, "if we're such alpha guys, that we always end up doing whatever Blair tells us to." Lovely, long story that I enjoy to read and reread. Nice plot idea, lovely OCs, good crossover, good feeling between the guys. Several goood lines. I really like the spirit animals. The president-thing always makes me smile. So sweet hos some of the Sentinels react to Blair - and of course they think he's the best thing since sliced bread. Sweet that Jack and Daniel could bond, of sorts. Interesting point that so many in the army could be sentinels, that worked well. One of those sweet, lovely stories I would just love to read more and more and more in the universe of. I really liked Chad, the cut-throat lawyer guide - a great story there with Hilary and the others. Sweet with Jim knowing something the way he knows Blair loves him - awww ...

Situational Ethics by Merry Lynne
A man calling himself "Mulder" calls Blair. You're the guy who thinks ET phoned the government. Always nice to do the Sentinel crossovers where someone else is a Sentinel and needs Blair and Jim's help. I've written one myself and in part I was inspired by this story and others such as it. What is really sweet is how Blair assumes the man Mulder thinks is a sentinel - an Alex Krycek - is a) Mulder's, b) a pussycat and c) genetically predisposed to protect those around him. And the beautiful line about the fountain. And the ending. Several nice lines.

Snap to It by Jane Davitt
Jim overhears gossip of how obedient Blair is to him. But is there any truth in the rumour? And he knew what Blair was going to do next, knew it, and wanted it, and his heart was beating faster, too, anticipation, sweet and choking, like honey in his throat. Cute story that made me smile. Well in character.

Substitutions by Josan
Krycek is with Skinner, but only as a substitute for Mulder and when Mulder returns, Krycek goes North. To Cascade. Where he catches the interest of Simon Banks. But Krycek feels unworthy. He'd known from the very beginning that he was nothing more than a substitute. Self-deprecation, love overcoming obstacles, courting. Very warming, good story that I like a lot.

The Day I got lost by Snuffles D Bear
Snuffles d Bear tells his version of the day that Blair lost him. But, when Blair finally met me - My Jim hid me for a long time- Blair took me in his hands- and let me say, he has very gentle hands- and held me and then reached down and gave me the biggest nose rub and muzzle kiss! Awww! So cute! While my own Snuffles (BBK) is a boar, I simply adore Snuffles. So, so, so sweet. Hugs and cuddles, all the way (and BBK sends his bestest, pinkest greetings)! Lovely story I had forgot how much I adore. Great language and lovely humor. And strangely suggestive, I swear I nearly cried at the reunion. Awww ... Cute how Snuffles describes Jim's sense of smell.

The Healer by alyjude
Blair is present when a hostage situation at a post office goes horribly wrong. The FBI-agent in charge blames Blair and when Blair wakes up after a coma he falls into, his mind has returned to when he was five years old. An adorable five year old, but what will happen now? And who is "Mickey"? Then the most joyous and beautiful expression Blair had ever seen moved over Jim's face as he breathed out one word as if it were the most beautiful, miraculous word in any language. "Chief." Very sad to start with, but with strength. Five-year-old Blair is adorable, of course - as is the way they help him. Nice writing technique, I liked especially the beginning, introducing everyone with a sense of foreboding, butnicely done. Nice original characters. Easy visualised. The subplot with Deva is absolutely lovely - and I liked the wolf bit of it too. Yay for the Blair-schedule. The Yosemite part was also nice, I'm very weak for such things.

The Mountie Who Fell to Earth by Josephine Darcy
In the wilderness of Cascade, Jim and Blair runs into some visitors from Chicago (and Canada). They end up sharing adventure. Hey, is it just me, or are those moose starin' at me funny? Nicely mixed shows, wtih good use of canon. My favorite episode of SVS - and I could see the adventure part of either show without any problem. Nicely written and fun. Even a hint of angst, which I like. The boys work well together. Crossover with Due South.

The Sentinel's Rules For dating the Guide by Diana Williams
The rules for dating the guide - and the storyline behind them. Jim does his best to take care of the men who dares to try to date the guide ... If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off my Guide's body, I will remove them. Rather hilarious. Nicely worded, me likes. Several nice quotes.

The Warlord's Sentinel by kyanoswolf
Lord Simon Banks, Warlord and conqueror of over a hundred world. His adopted son, Blair. They arrive to the planet Cascade to accept its surrender. As part of the tribute they get a slave - James Ellison of the border Watchmen ... Intrigues and love follow. What was it about James Ellison that brought out such nurturing in strangers, but had led his own kin to plot murder by neglect? An AU has to be extremely good for me to like it - this one is. Sci Fi. Nice use of canon in AU. Overall nice story, sweet. A little angst too.

Jamie series by Gillian Middleton
Series centering around Jim and Blair and their son, Jamie. Jamie is also a Sentinel. "Remind me again that Jamie is only five and Sean is just three," he croaked. I really like stories when they have children and this is a lovey one My favourites are #14 -Mine, and #20, Time Will tell. Nice series I would love more of. I especially like when Jamie's guide-to-be is in trouble and needs his help. Lovely little drama and good continuation.

Tom by Gloria Lancaster
Blair says that it would be easier to live with a panther than Jim - so Jim becomes pantherish. Then Jim blinked, very slowly, his eyelashes lazy but emphatic and then Jim wasn't there any more. Cute. Several nice quotes. I like the end too.

Triathlon by YS McCool
The fifth Annual Caascade City Employees Triathlon. Simon gets Blair to participate with the rest of the gang. Jim finds Blair's presence before him very inspirational. He even gets territorial when other runners get between him and Blair. He continued to hug the very cuddly Blair until he realized that Jim was giving him the "evil eye" while boxing more viciously. Cute story, I like.

Twas the day after Christmas by Laura Trout
The Sentinel version of a traditional Christmas poem. Twas the day after Christmas and all through the loft, The Sentinel and Guide, like two bunnies they boffed. Nicely done, makes me smile to read. I remembered this one after many years.

Viva Las Vegas by Alyjude
Jim and Blair goes to Vegas. Blair has a plan: either tell Jim of his feelings - or move on. But before that happens, Blair plays some poker. He wins - and wins big. How will this effect their relationship? “Believe it or not, we’re being followed,” Jim managed to say without moving his mouth—much. This story has a nice feel to it, a good vibe between the guys. Yay for Blair winning and good with the bust of the guy s who tried to steal his backpack. I did like the very natural feel of them nearly falling together. Heh also for the smell of good guy gun vs. bad guy gun, nice detail.

Wild Sentinel by kyanoswolf AU
A ship goes down on a planet. On board is Jim Ellion, 10, and his parents. His parents die, but Jim get adopted by an intelligent feline. 15 years later, Stephen Ellison (in this story older than Jim) returns to the planet in the search for his brother. On board is Doctor Blair Sandburg. And so Blacker Than Night, the Great Hunter, became the protector of Jim, The Little One. Cute story and I like the Oncas.

	Harry Potter Disclaimer and information A fandom I like mostly for the fandom. The books are okay, so are the movie, but no big thing for me. Lots of lovely stories in the fandom, though. My favourite pairing is Snape/Hagrid, but Snape/Harry works too and some other combinations.

Fostering Family Unity by Alisanne added 140915
Harry meets some of Severus's relatives at a gathering - including some traditional Princes. Maybe Severus had some secondary motives in setting up the meeting. Or perhaps it was because I took everyone aside and reminded them that you obliterated Voldemort and could do the same to them should they cross you. Cute story that made me smile. I like powerful!Harry - and also Severus using this fact.

Safe Popularity by Alisanne added 140729
Severus is out and about, a very popular Potions lecturer. Hermione wonders if Harry's comfortable with his lover being away from home. He is. I put an Anti-Cheating Spell on him. Made me smile. Poor Harry ...

Magic And Moving Pictures by Heather Sparrows added 130227
Hagrid gets two Muggle movie tickets and persuades his lover, Snape, to go with him. Only the tickets are enchanted and they find themselves thrown into the movie. King Kong ... He can be foolish like a six-year-old and wise enough for six hundred years. Interesting story, inspiring plot. Sweet. Nicely written with good emotion and humor. Awww for Hagrid's love for all the animals. Thoughtworthy.

I Have Not Forgotten by Heather Sparrows added 130225
Hagrid goes to the Shrieking Shack to fetch Snape's body. He remembers how he and Snape had a relationship before Snape left Hogwarts. But things may not be what they seem to be ... Instead, there was a wild animal to tame, willing and unwilling at the same time, prepared to trust and get feral; his long arms opening in a welcoming embrace and yet pushing Hagrid away at the same time. Good language, several good details. Nice handling of a potentially sensitive subject. I really like the development and the end of the story, very open for possibilities and suggestive. A universe I would like to read more in. Good voice for especially Hagrid. I especially liked the touch of the giant bathing ritual tradition - interesting.

53 Stories About Snape & Black by Amanuensis
53 answers to challenges, some silly, most funny, some very good. Hanged for witchcrafted, hanged for buggery. My favorites are 1, 5, 8, 9, 10, 20, 21, 22, 33, 34, 40, 47, 48 and 53.

A Convenient Marriage by Diana Williams
Lucius Malfoy invokes an old tradition that will let him marry Harry - unless someone steps in and stands as Harry's champion, defeating Lucius Malfoy in battle. The only option is Severus Snape, who eventuelly agrees to try - and succeeds. Only, now he has to marry Harry instead. For once in my life, I wanted something pure, and in my foolishness, I have destroyed it. Interesting story, with a bit of angst, of imperfect sex, of making difficult choices, doing the best of a situation, and more.

A Fitting Body by ptyx
The Final battle and Harry kneels by Snape's dead body. He never even told Snape that he loved him. Bu there is something that listens to him. A small body serpent slithers up to Harry. Maybe not all is lost. "I should die more often, just to hear you speak of my body with such high admiration!" Cute with the poor little snake. And interesting backstory leading up. Good use of the snake. Interesting possibilities of other bodies, though I did like Harry's answer.

A Hiding to Nothing by Meri
Severus is sentenced to a life as an indetured servant - to Harry. At first Harry hates him. They have a difficult time of it. Later on, things get much better, but the situation remains rather bleak. He seriously thought about trying to kill Potter, but the strategist in him knew he'd never get close. I like part of the story a lot, even if it is a bit dark.

A Life More Ordinary by Lexin
Merlin's Curse is active and a protector will be born. The parents are selected - Severus and Harry. Neither of whom are happy about this. But they comply. A bonding marriage is performed. "You were trying to tell me you're ugly." Mpreg, semi-non-con, past rape. Very interesting, refreshing story. Well written. Some angst. Self sacrifice.

A Nick In Time by Tira Nog
Harry and Severus are transformed back to child versions of themselves, with no memory of their adult lives. Hermione and Ron takes care of them. Albus seems behind it, though he is dead. Slowly they become a family. But the state does not last forever. What could I offer that he couldn't get elsewhere from someone younger and more comely? Several aww-moments. Angst. Very warm story, me likes. Also long and overall an interesting, good read. I have a very weak spot for especially Ron in this one.

A Winter's Tale by Foxfeather
Severus and Lupin get together, a mission from Dumbledore demands a werewolf, which rips the soul out from Remus's body - the werewolf part ends up in Severus and the consciousness in a mad wolf, Hugo, who I like a lot. Lupin and Severur's days were filled with classes and books, but the nights were theirs. Cute story. Their interaction is very interesting. I also really like the demon Voldemort summons, who is neat. Also interesting about prejudices.

And Severus Snape Goes To ... by Starkindler
After the war, the Dark Lord rules - and his name is Harry Potter. Draco Malfoy captures Severus Snape and sells him to Harry Potter as a slave. When I was prophesized to defeat Voldemort, no one said anything such as "Harry, when you defeat Voldemort it will completely shatter your innocence; your soul is going to turn Dark and you'll become the next Dark Lord." Harry Potter is a bit unstable, but I can't resist these kinds of stories, with dark!Harry taking over, slightly mad and especially not if Severus is involved. I also like the use of Draco here.

And Then It Bit Him by who_la_whoop
Snape is trying out the animagus spell when he is discovered by Count D, in England to try to persuade Nessie to join him in his shop. It turns out that the kami has no knowledge of the magical world of wizards - and the many, many interesting creatures within it. A Snape - whether in company or no - did not wiggle. Lovely crossover idea. And I like their respective views of one another, both are well in character. Good humor. I would like to read more in this universe.

Atonement by Amber-and-Ash
Albus orders Severus to be Harry's servent, enforcing the condition with an oath that makes it possible for Harry to order Severus around. You went down on your knees and told me you would do whatever it took, for the rest of your life, to assist the ligth side and atone for your sins. A promising story, sadly it seems unlikely to be finished. Nice setup, with a hint of angst, a bit of powerful!Harry and Harry standing up both for himself and Severus. I would have loved to read more. WIP.

Blood by Artemis Luna Diana
Harry is sent back in time - to a couple of hundred years BC - and turned into a vampire. He has to make it back through time the hard way - by living it. He becomes the leader of the vampires and guides them through history intent on being prepared for Voldemort. Besides, there was a need for Dumbledore to know everything that went on. A truly lovely start of what promises to be a most captivating, interesting story - if not for that it is a WIP and I fear it won't be finished ... Many interesting details, angst, huge potential. I can only hope for more ...

Call 1900-Potions-Master by Abbey Road
Voldemort forces Severus to try to seduce Harry. Kind of. In fact, Severus is not amused and does not really try his best. The war had become predominantly civil after Harry's time as a student at Hogwarts, and gradually Voldemort's tenuous grip on reality had drained away like so many dead goldfish weaving down the s-bend. Well, if there was a 1900-Potions-Master line, I would be tempted to call, yes, just to hear that voice ... Considerable humor; fun and a cute read. I like.

Care of Magical Creatures by Bernice
Hagrid courting Snape - awww! Sweet. Of course, Snape is not making it easy for either for them (and am very suspiscious). Hagrid fidgeted nervously, obviously girding his loins, then, "Yeh've got pretty hair." Good characteristics, very sweet story, a favorite. Also, Hagrid isn't a "stupid ox" in this one, which I really like. A little angst too.

Deepest Bonds by Eleonora1
Sirius Black is called back through the veil because he has inherited a slave (the bond between them being what brought him back) - Severus! Severus is a born slave, who has been abused most of his life. He'd probably never get used to Snape asking for his, or anyone's, permission for anything. It's a difficult theme to pull off, but the authoress succeeds fairly well. Eventually they come together. There's more to the story, though. The late Remus plays a big role and the plot flows naturally and there's a nice, well-made twist in the end. Also some humor and nice angst. Very dark in places.

Everything and Nothing by Carawen Javolia
Dark!Harry has taken over the world, in order to get Severus. Now he claims him. Once he had secured Lucius Malfoy's help, it was ridiculously easy for Harry to defeat Voldemort. A favorite of mine - and I might have posted the challenge which prompted it ... Mpreg. Nicely written. What can I say? I like dark!Harry. Also, dark Dumbledore and nice use of Lucius Malfoy.

Growing Pains by Tira Nog
Pre-slash blooms and they become a couple, with lovely angst and overall heartwarming. Something in his tone must have challenged Potter, for those green eyes glanced his way, and then Harry encapsulated his day with five truculent words that were enough to chill any teacher's blood: "Trelawney had my third years." Lovely continuation on one of my favorite stories. Again, I like Ron a lot in this one. Very many nice details and overall an enjoyable reaD. Also powerful!Harry, which i like a lot.

Haint it Funny by Bernice
Hagrid wakes up after his and Severus's first night together - alone. He wonders what went wrong. But are things really that bad? It was their first night together, after all of Hagrid's carefull planning and seduction. Cute story, very in character, a nice read.

Harry Potter And The Sun Source
Harry Potter is placed on the Dursley doorsteps in 1981 - but the hands that lifts him belong to Chiun, Master of Sinanju. In Harry Chiun sees another of Sinanju's legends. He adopts Harry and takes him on as an apprentice. In 1996, Dumbledore hires Harry to come to Hogwarts and kill Voldemort. "Luna," Hermione was saying as Neville approached, "I'll admit you were right about Harry Potter being raised in Korea, but that doesn't mean he was being trained as an assassin by an ancient house of assassins." I love the The Destroyer series and to find a long, lovely fan fic was great. I kept recognising canon details and smiling. I like the addition to the legend, like the magic village in Korea and things. The Goblin connection was a nice touch. To see Chiun and Remo "again" felt good and inspired me to reread some old favorite books. Nicely written, several good quotes and feels much in style with the The Destroyer books. Remo's letter to Voldemort made me smile. Personally I quite like Snape, so I was a bit sad about that, but I understand Harry's reaction. Good use of Luna and Bulstrode. Heh for forensic wizards. And the nod to the Queen. And Chiun being comissioned to kill not only Voldemort but also Grindewald (made me remember the whole hired to kill Hitler thing). And the running gag of more and more people giving commissions to kill Voldemort. Bo-Bae I didn't remember, possibly an addition. And possibly overlooking the whole Dutchman thing for "only two white an had ever be so honored, "though I'm not sure Purcell was as much honored as he was cursed ... Crossover with The Destroyer. Gen.

Home Brew by Lynda
Severus needs to brew a potion for the order of the Phoenix, but he needs a very special ingredience - giant seed. And the giants are no longer in contact with the wizarding word. So where, oh where, to turn? "Does this extract need to be from a full blooded giant?" Albus asked quietly. Sweet story,with a bit of humor and sex.

Howdy by Juxian Tang
Severus is suffering from a curse. When he's in the hospital he meets a boy, Howdy. And they form a mutual bond. Severus decides to adopt Howdy. But when he comes back to the hospital, Remus Lupin has already beat him to it. Howdy ... is a werewolf. Severus is pissed, but slowly he's pulled back to the two werewolves. It was as if Howdy really liked him - didn't notice what a kind of person Snape was, ugly and mean and disagreeable. Sweet story, keeping Severus well in character. Howdy is a great original character. Very warm, enjoyable story. A bit of angst too.

If You're Gone by Taran & Lady Moonlight
Harry goes back in time to the time of the Marauders, when he meets Severus and they fall in love. "I'll wait forever to be with you again, Harry." What is especially interesting in this story is that while in most of the time-travel stories makes a point that the futre must never be changed - this one does change it. Refreshing and overall good read.

Lies by BradS SS/HP Dark!Harry
After the dark lord conquered the wizarding world, Snape mourns - and all he ever says is "I'm Fine." Obviously, he's not. The dark lord, Harry Potter. I thoroughly enjoy Dark!Harry, and especially if Snape is involved. Short story, but with depth.

Nocturne by Tira Nog
Severus is a vampire, a condition which in this story is punished by mandatory execution. Harry is an auror. He saves Severus from execution and helps him. They make a very interesting deal - blood for sex - which very quickly turns to love. This may sound melodramatic, but I consider you the only brightness that has ever graced my miserable existance. I admit I'm a bit of a perv, but I adore how Severus assumed he is unworthy of any affection and expects rejection at any point. This one is particularly yummie. Interesting story, many good quotes, hot sex, overall one of my HP favorites. Also powerful!Harry, which I always like.

Protean Charm by elanor isolda
Severus teaches Harry defense against the dark arts. Severus is turned on by Harry's powers and parseltongue. Severus sees Harry as a force of his own, neither by Albus nor Tom. He wants to serve you, to be yours, to feel your power flowing into him. I always liked a hint of Dark Lord!Harry. Not quite with all of the sex, but overall nice and hot. And again - Dark Lord Harry is my favorite, especially with Snape.

Resolutions by Josan
While this story contains a nice slash pairing, even one with warmth and a hint of angst, that's just gravy. The real enjoyment of this story for me, is the great final war, set at Hogwarts, involving all the students - even the house elves, working together in different ways. "And considering the things I learned while in Azkaban, believe me, you do not want to displease me." Heart-warming, moving - sad in parts, funny in parts, uplifting. Very well done.

Say It With Flowers by Sylvadin
Hagrid gives Severus a bouquet of flowers and declares his intent. At first Severus sneers at the flowers, but then he realises what a great gift he has been given. "I thought yeh might fancy somethin more practical than roses." Lovely story that really made me smile. Several good points made and many good lines. One of my favorite writers and favorite pairings, as well. In character. Overall me approves.

Screaming Virgin by Predatrix
Black makes fun of Severus's lack of sexual experience and that no one would want to be with him. Hagrid tells differently - and he and Severus does something about the "problem". "I'd shag 'im in a 'eartbeat, 'e's gorgeous!" Hot sex, interesting story line, a bit fun too.

Seven Days Can Change the World by Snapespet
Harry Potter wins the war - but falls into a coma. While he is out Snape is sent to Azkaban. When Harry wakes up and finds out, he gets pissed. So he takes over. It was a Saturday, forty days afte the final battle when Harry Potter changed the world again by simply taking control of it. I do confess that I have a very soft spot for Dark!Harry. And a very nicely structured story, nicely plotted. Good use of Lucius too.

Size Queen by Predatrix
Severus is persued by a female professor - and seeks refuge with Hagrid - who is all too happy to have him. A bit of Hagrid's home brew and one thing leads to another. Many and various creatures had found refuge in Hagrid's cottage, but professor Snape was a new one on him. Nice guest play with Neville. Warm, sweet story.

Smitty the Basilisk by Lychee
Smitty is a five-year-old basilisk, son of the one Harry killed. He befriends Harry and Ron and Hermione. Later he learns to transform into a human, acts as a matchmaker at Hogwarts - and falls in love ... My name is Smisssssssmmssssaaaalll, which in Parseltongue more or less means 'Prince of the Sparkling Scales'" Interesting perspective, original story, also funny. I like Smitty.

Solstice Lover by Josan
Once a year, Severus Snape has a visitor. Each Solstice, the love of his life comes to him. Have you truly seen me as I am all these years, my Severus? Lovely story, it always feels right to me. Nicely written, a little angsty, mostly warm and fitting.

Surprising by Slayer_of_Destiny
Voldemort has a new ally, but one of this person's demands to ally themselves to Voldemort is ... Severus Snape. Voldemort never hesitates and soon enough Severus finds himself bound in bed, waiting for a new master. He could feel dread and fear rising in his chest as he realised that the man that now effectively owned by Harry Potter, a Harry Potter that he had clearly underestimated if they were in this position right now. I do enjoy a good dark!Harry story. Nice bit of angst and good emotion.

The Nameless Island Series by Heather Sparrows
The war is over. Snape is thrown into Azkaban, where he is abused and hurt. But he is not utterly alone. Outside, Hagrid does his best to help his case and tried to go visit him. Grieving, Hagrid has made himself familiar with the thought that his visits probably will remain like this until one of them dies: Talking for half an hour every two weeks to the empty shell of a once brilliant man. Sad in parts and very dark in others, with some very difficult concepts. Still, also a very warm, touching story with many great details. I like the "original" characters a lot - especially Ares Iron. The time on Nameless Island is great - and such lovely animals (especially the Eberbachian hogs). A universe I'd love to read more in. Nice humor too. Interesting substories with the daughter, Lucious and the Cenobites. Nice bit of angst too.

Learning the Language of Harpies by Bernice
Hagrid outs them and we follow the reaction from different people. "You know, Lucius, of all the Lords I have followed, be they dark and bitter, or light and sweet, not a single one of them has, after I've spent a long day standing in front of a class, ever fetched me a cup of tea and rubbed my aching feet." Very amusing in part. I especially enjoy Lucius reaction. Aww-worthy end and several nice quotes.

The Curse of Fate by Mistress Nika
Harry is a true immortal vampire who has lived much too long. He goes back in time and relives his life. This time things will be different. He starts by stealing Voldemort's Death Eaters. Yes, some sort of dark god who has chosen, for whatever reason, to deign the lowely humans with his presence. Interesting story with many dimensions and interesting details. And I adore Nellie, Harry's crazy snake. One of the few WIPs I wait for. Latest chapters has a nice addition of Severus to boot.

The Lightning Child by Richan MMIII
Hary is cast back in time 20 years, where he stayes in Hogwarts with the Marauders, his mother and Snape. They form bonds, but time is out of joint and soon enough, Harry's soul is split - one half into his mother and one to the death realm. What will happen when time closes the gap 20 years later? And what will happen with his and Snape's relationship? Finally, as the sun crept up in a blood-red sky, Severus resigned himself to a lonely destiny. Timetravel, love, death. With powerful!Harry. Nice angst. Fresh story, I like.

The Measure of Our Torment by Amorette
Ten years later Harry returns to England to find that Slytherines are treated very, very badly, and especially so the man he has loved for all this time. He sets out to make things right. "Someone once told me," Severus said, not mentioning that 'someone' was the late, unlamented Lucius Malfoy, "I would be beautiful to a blind man." I always have a very weak spot for powerful!Harry and Harry forcing the world to do his bidding. And even more so if he does it to protect Severus ...In this particular story Harry isn't very dark, but it is still very nice. Spicy little hint of barely there non-con as Severus reacts as if Harry was a new master to him, one who wants slightly different things than Voldemort and Albus. Nummie.

The Potter Secret by Simone of the Zordiak
Harry is apprenticed to Severus. A potions accident reveals Harry's secret - he is a hermaphrodite, whose blood is very special.In the accident he is transformed into part dragon, part fae. Also, a big secret through time. So either Harry was something new and unique or he had more secrets hidden than he had previously thought possible. A sequel is promised and I really would like to read it, alas, I haven't found it so far. Barely even pre, but I hope for more. Interesting and very promising story, setting up premises for a very interesting sequel nicely. Also a bit of humor. And I really like the view of the potions guild.

The Return of the Prodigal by ClothoCachesisAtropo
Harry goes back in time, gets sorted into Slytherine, befriends and falls in love with Severus Snape. Then he has to leave and go forth in time the hard way - by living it, until he can finally return to Hogwarts and Severus - who never has any idea of who the man he loved will be/was. "If you die, Potter, I will personally resurrect you in order to make death happen again, more painful than Voldemort could ever imagine." I especially like the way Harry protects Severus and the reverence shown to parcelmouths by the Slytherines. Nice angst too.

The Snidget by Sinick and ac1d6urn
Harry dies and Voldemort rules as a half-snake cross between himself and Naigini. Severus still teaches at Hogwarts. One day a snidget shows up (a tiny, fluffy golden bird; a magical hummingbird that first was used in Quidditch as snitches) and makes itself at home in Severus's rooms. It wasn't long before he took it into his tiny feathered head to slide down the greasy slope of Snape's hair. Cute story. I enjoyed the antics of the snidget. "Featherless the Giant" made me smile. Nice end. Great detail about the Sword of Gryffindor and how it was put to use.

The Young and the Hopeless by moraco
Young Snape is sent through time to present day Hogwarts where he meets and falls in love with Harry Potter. But he needs to go back. His older self is still there, though, and he still loves Harry Potter. You know I won't be here forever. Nice angst.

Unnatural by Lexin
Harry is the rarest of all wizards -a hermaphrodite. No one knows, though, until Severus finds out. Harry becomes pregnant and the news spreads. I am completely unworthy of someone like you. Original, interesting story. I like. Some angst too. I also like Ron in this.

Whispers of Intent by Tira Nog
Harry and Severus meet up at a gay bar and get together. At first it is just sex, but it develops. Sitting there, watching Severus eat the last of his tiramisu while that dark gaze roamed the restaurant, taking everything in as though he were memorizing it in case he never experienced something like this again, Harry was resolved to introduce Severus to some of the joys he'd missed out on. A delightful, long story, well written. Warm story, very sexy. I do enjoy greatly stories in which Severus feels unworthy of love and has to be gentled to it - and this is a very nice one. One of my favorite authors. Good use of other members of the cast too.

	Star Trek - TNG, Voyager, Reboot Disclaimer and information Fun to watch and lots of possibilities.

Accidental by astolat
Picard startles Q, who manifests in his true form - wrecking havock. I poked a tiny little hole in that flimsy field you use to hold in the antimatter in your warp core, and kaboom. Amusing and in character, even a little sweet.

Fear the Reaper by CreedCascade
Leonard McCoy is actually John Grimm, the Reaper, builder of the Terran Empire. He finds a young Jimmy Kirk and thus meets his future soul mate in lust, love and blood, to rip the empire asunder again for fun and bring havoc to the universe. They gather a psychotic, deadly crew to serve on the Enterprise. Everybody dances with the Grim Reaper, but there is only one who lives to tell about it. Very interesting crossover. I like the change to the characters, the freedom of the obsessive psychotic love. Several nice quotes and always interesting to see what happens next. Many interesting character descriptions.

His Beloved Pet by Ruth & Atara
Q dares Q to seduce Picard. So, Q does. He and Picard enters a relationship with strong BDSM tones. Only, Q's feelings change. And Picard doesn't know about the dare - when he finally finds out, there's hell to pay. "I'm also a conceited , selfish, arrogant bastard and only a god could master me." Normally I don't like BDSM much, but this is hot. Very nice, with lots of angst. Long, lovely tale, one of my overall favorites. Love the angst, love the ending - which has inspired me.

The Louder the Song by Varoneeka
Q falls in love with Picard and thus blackmails him into spending time together. The situation slowly changes. But there is more: if Picard and Q isn't together, the universe might seize to exist. But Picard didn't love him, and never would, and certainly didn't want to be subjected right now to Q's abject adoration. A little self-sacrifice, a lot of angst, hot, interesting and inspirational. Many nice lines.

The Next Sensation by astolat
The Enterprise is in trouble, when Q shows up and offers to help - for a price ... "And I'm omnipotent, remember! I declare that 'wee' and 'little' no longer mean the same thing! So there!" Several lovely snippets of dialogue that has stuck with me for a long time. More humor than serious,though.

A Far Distant Star by icarus_chained
Q is helping Deanna with a telepatic matter, when she oversees his true nature and soul - and breaks. Q takes her to Picard, where she shares the truth of what she saw with Picard and the ball is set a-rolling. His head was bowed as his voice faded, bent under the enormity of what he proposed, the infinity that lay between him and his goal. Good emotion, lovely description of Q. Powerful concept of Q's loneliness and an interesting read. Nice dash of humor too. Very thoughtworthy about the stars and the darkness.

Animalia by Amirin
Tom is bitten by an alien feline - and turns into a wereanimal. Only, to turn back become more and more difficult - and one day he wont be able to turn back. Unless he mates. Tom was perfectly capable of feeding himself, but ate from Harry's finger anyway, carefully taking the offered pieces of meat and watching his teeth. A story I read first many years ago, but which still feels fresh and interesting. Love and sacrifice for friendship as well as love.

Falling by Taffy
Chakotay and Tom has an accident on a planet. Tom has to carry Chakotay to safely. If Tom falls asleep, Chakotay dies. Even once they get out of the trouble, Tom is unable to sleep. I sleep; he dies, I sleep; he dies. Love blossoming from sacrifice. Also mind over matter and a bit of humor thrown in.

Parry by Amirin
Chakotay breaks up with Tom the day before they get back to the Alpha Quadrant. Tom's old gang from Auckland meets with him on arrival - they've been waiting for him, so they can go ahead with their dream - to build The Integrity. Of course, this isn't the last Voyager (and Chakotay) sees of Paris. He has surprising news - especially for Chakotay. If we don't there won't be a Cardassian still breathing in this quadrant by the time Tom's through. Always nice to see an "impossible" daydream come true. I also like the Paris-to-the-rescue. Nice with a bumpy relationship.

Past Duties by astalot
Picard is old now - and retired. And bored. One day, Q comes to visit him. He wants Picard to come out and play. One final time. It was extraordinary how Q could make the simple act of speaking feel a great deal like taking a leap off a cliff with an uncertain parachute. Bittersweet, thoughtworthy. Nice title. A bit inspiring. I would have liked such an end for them in canon.

Perfect Timing by Myrna
When Chakotay and Paris are on a planet together Chakotay discovers Paris's secret - that his father beat him mercilessly as a child. This makes Chakotay reevaluate things. They get together, but Paris gets very ill. And they get back to Earth, where Paris's father waits ... Very gently, very softly, in the voice he would use to tame a frightened animal, Chakotay whispered: "May I kiss you, Tom Paris?" I especially enjoy the solidarity shown in this story, but also the soul mates and how one can't really know someone unless one knows the vital parts. Hasty judgement can bite you in the end. Warm love in this story, sex too.

Tom, Dick and Harry by Emma Woodhouse
Paris and Kim are trapped on a planet. A bit of accidental kissing and when Kim confess how much he misses being inside his girlfriend, Tom offers to let Kim do him. Tom was raped in Auckland. Thinking that this will make him feel better too, Kim agrees. Soon enough they're at it like mad minks. Everything's roses - until they go back to the ship. Tom is in love, but Kim is no longer interested. Tom plays indifferent, but inside he is torn up. She sat silently and listened to the dark ribbon of words and this was heart's blood, a chilling litany of despair, self-loathing and always the hopeless, passionate longing for the other, for the one he wasn't good enough for. Lovely angst, very nicely played. Sacrifice in the name of love ... Also funny in places. Especially the Mad Minks reference always makes me smile.

V by Amirin
V for Voyager. Voyager has become sentient - and in love with its pilot. Aww ... A feeling of humility descended upon him as he realised he was the only thing protecting Tom from the vacuum of space. One of my overall favorite Star Trek stories. Very original and interesting. One of the stories I want a sequel to the most. I would have adored reading more about them.

	Pirates of the Caribbeans Disclaimer and information I liked the movies, even if towards the end they jumped the shark a bit. My favourite character was Norrington, though and I'd love to find more good stories with him in them. Alas, after what happened ... The last movie get bonus point for using Oscar Jaenada, one of my favourite actors.

A Plan Well-Laid by hija_paloma and Webcrowmancer
Jack and Norrington have had sex before, now Jack returns to return the favor (Norrington topped the last time) But as he did so, Jack's eyes widened in recognition and Norrington again felt himself the prey, giving himself over to the panther's mercies. I love this pairing, but sadly haven't found too many stories. This one is sweet and sexy, deals well with emotions and sex, but good in character.

Duty and Reply by Raphe
Love is a hard choice to make when duty is involved, but som pirates won't take no for an answer ... For stakes as high as you, I'm a pirate mate, I'll cheat. One of my favorite poems overall - simply beautiful, it always makes me smile.

Pain in the Arse by Kleio
After Jack saves Will from near-rape in Tortuga, Will asks Jack some questions regarding sodomy. Jack shows him. "Any chance you fellows would cease to molest my companion?" I like Jack rescuing Will and Will being both willing and not. Also unperfect sex.

Proof by Sheila
Jack takes Will for a walk in Tortuga. A giant pirate expresses an interest in Will, causing Jack to claim him as his (not quite true at this point). The pirate requires proof of his claim. But is that the full story? His eyes looked like something from the very pits of Hell, dark and terrible, unflinching in their intensity and locked steadily on the big pirate's face. Cute little story, nice twist at the end, some nice lines. I like the plot too. It amused me to think of Will's reaction if he found out about what really happened. Nice with the slap.

Reclamation by Creed Cascade & TJ
When Jack boards a pirate ship he finds Will, who has been forced to serve as the captain's sex slave. Will is broken. Jack takes him back to the Pearl and takes care of him. He had decided that whatever Jack wanted, Jack would have. A bit dark, but in a good way. Me likes.

Taxes by The Mad Fangirl
AU in which the crew of PotC are reborn in present time - and now has their former characters in the back of their minds (but they can also step forward and take over) Monday dawned, and pirates-turned-accountants-turned-managers, and haunted commodore cowboys all had to go to work. Cleverly done, nicely written. I especially enjoy the hint of possible XO to Sleepy Hollows and Once Upon a Time In Mexico. I hope it will be continued at some point, I've read up to 8.

Who Loves Him True by Sky Fire
Will has decided that courting is necessary, though he and Jack have been together for a good while. Jack is not pleased, as not only has he got to do the courting, but they have to stay celebate - and for an entire week!! What does a ... gentleman ... do when courting ...? Cute, humor, yet romantic. Inspiring. Sweet.

Brimstone Disclaimer and information A favourite show of mine. I'm still sad it didn't continue. And no official DVDs, gah ...

Man Of No Means by kelex added 130814
The devil shows up as he always does. This time, however, the reason is something different: an anniversary. So he takes Zeke out for a meal, if a bit different meal than Zeke is used to. A nice meal, though - and who better to have a meal with ... than a friend? He sought out solitude, because there was no other soul on this Earth like him, but as long as he had the Devil, he wouldn't be alone. Nicely detailed meal. I've never been into sushi, but this gave me some understanding of the meal. Awww for the devil's reaction to Zeke calling him a friend. The devil well in character. I also liked that Zeke's tattoos react to the Devil's touch, that worked well for me. Nice present for Zeke too.

A Deal with the Devil by Selene la Luna SmallvilleXBrimstone
Lex's father really is the devil. And his dad is Ezekiel Stone. In this story Lionel is also Lucifer of Brimstone. Lucifer offers Lex that he can tell Clark the truth - if Clark first tells Lex his secret. And he does. His best friend who, Clark admitted morosely, he had been in love with for half a year. Nice crossover, which I really like. Cute.

A Plague of Ghosts by Sidewinder
The last tattoo is gone and Zeke is presented with his second chance. He offers to stay with the devil, if the devil can give him what he wants in return. Will the devil be able to do so? In silence they had held each other for hours, the devil tracing over the lines of the last few tattoos on Zeke's body, over and over, never saying a word as he did so. Sweet, love conquering, sacrifice and so on. What a lovely ending to the show this would have been ...

A Wanderer on the Earth by lonelywalker
Ezekiel nearly dies, stabbed in the eye by an escapee. When he waked up he's whole again - and has apparently had sex with the devil. Some kind of deal has been made, but what kind and with whom? And what really happened last night? Ezekiel Stone has been fucked - really, truly, royally fucked - by the devil himself, and has lived to suffer the consequences. Interesting take on the old "the morning after the night before". Nice little story. Several good quotes, nice angst, lovely resolution. I liked the part of the sin being much more difficult to wash off than blood. I also liked the devil a lot in this one, well in character

Absolution by Lonelywalker
Zeke succeeds and gets his second chance at life on Earth. 15 years ago with Rosalyn. After a while he starts seeing the Devil around. They start an affair - but how will this effect Zeke's marriage - and his immortal soul? The Devil is, after all, a snappy dresser with a quick smile and a wicked sense of humor that'a always hilariously funny to anyone who doesn't realise he's being entirely serious. I like stories set after Zeke succeeds, to find out if he will get his second chance, how it plays out and if the devil will remain in his life. I like the description of the devil here and the inevitableness of what happens. Lovely, sweet ending.

After by Melissa WIP
Zeke dies - and go to Heaven ... He's miserable. But one day he finds a wall, climbs over it and falls ... Apparently sleeping with the Prince of All Evil was not a great a sin as one might think. Sadly I have only read 2 parts of this lovely little story and it is a WIP. Still, what there is of it is intriguing and promising. Too bad there isn't more ...

Date Night by Lonelywalker
The Devil comes to Zeke's room with popcorn and movies. Zeke's never been so scared in his life. But all in all, the evening isn't all that bad in the end. Because yes, this is the Devil, and the Devil can have any man or woman across eternity, and the Devil wants him. Several good quotes. Nice, interesting idea. Both well in character. I like the impromptu foot rub, the devil's little fetish of liking seeing people melted by lava flows and much more. Hot in parts, but with warmth and intimacy and a nice little dash of humor.

Demons at the Gate by Summer Rain
Zeke's next demon takes him to Cascade. Where he meets up with one Jim Ellison and one Blair Sandburg. They work a case together. What will Jim do, though, when he realizes that their new friend doesn't have a heart beat? And what's up with the yellow handkerchiefs? And, finally, what does the devil really want? "That is, unless you _want_ to spend eternity with me?" the Devil queried his lips just scant inches from Ezekiel's. Interesting crossover that makes good use of both fandoms. Strong beginning. Heh for Zeke suspecting Jim at first. Nice description of Zeke's voice. Awww for the devil bringing Zeke flowers. Also good on the closeness between Blair and Jim.

Fallin' From Grace by writingrose
The Devil comes to visit. They end up having hot sex. Afterwards Zeke speaks of love and thinks it is an impossibility. That had been the day that the devil had changed from "irritating boss" to "someone I can annoy as much as he annoys me". Lovely, angsty moments. Possessive devil is hot and other feelings are also nicely hinted at.

His Favorite by kelex
Zeke returns to life, but eventually he dies again. He is given a choice - rebirth or Hell ... No one has ever chosen Hell of their own free will. Lucifer stands at the gate to greet him back with a kiss. "If you can't be bothered to let me into Heaven, then send me to Hell, because at least then I know what I'm getting into." I'm a sucker from Brimstone fics with happy endings. Awww ...

Midnight Sun by Sidewinder
Zeke fullfills his part of the deal - and so does the devil. Zeke has his mortal life again. He lives his life well - and eventually he gets old and is about to die. The devil, who never stopped loving him, comes to his death bed. If I am the Morning Star, then you, Ezekel Stone, you are ... my Midnight Sun. Beautiful story. It made me teary-eyed in parts. Very nicely done, good emotion. I would have liked a little more definite end, but this, too, is good.

Slow Burn by lonelywalker
A conversation about going to heaven and going to hell between the devil and Ezekiel. The conversation slowly leads to a revealed attraction. I am the desire that will tear your heart out through your scrotum and leave you begging for more. Interesting argumentation and some very nice lines. I liked the devil especially in this one, well in character. Nice end. Enjoyable read.

Tardiness by Kel
Lionel Luthor of Smallville has a relationship with the devil of Brimstone. Things get hot ... Time to give the devil his due. Lionel did have a very healthy fear of Satan; not the usual Christian fear of hell and damnation, but the fear of a man who walked a razor's edge of control with the powerful being in front of him and who didn't want to ultimately lose the balance of power. I really like Smallville/Brimstone crossovers and this is an interesting one for sure. Really hot scenes and in character.

The Day Hell Froze Over by Glittrejungle
It's the day Hell freezes over and the devil is alone with his human. The day hell froze over, the devil started learning how to play ice-hockey. This doesn't really have to be Brimstone, I suppose, but I rather like the idea that it is. Both fun and serious, a little aww-worthy too.

The Perks by trascendenza
Zeke doesn't like snakes. There are, however, some snakelike attributes he likes. Forked tongues, on the other hand, were fantastic. Lovely drabbel, well written, nice title, good end too. Highly enjoyable read.

Due South Disclaimer and information Lovely show. While I like Ray K better for slash, I found the first seasons great too, very amusing.

Trinity by musegaarid added 130702
Ray and Benton put away a drugdealer for life. On finding out that the drug dealer's six-year-old daughter will be put in foster home Fraser announces his intention to adopt the girl. Only, living as he does at the councelat will count against him, so Ray offers that both Mountie and girl can live with him. So the three form a family of sorts. One day it is revealed that Fraser is a homosexual. Ray isn't. Too bad. Or can the arrangement work anyway? If Ray could somehow be gay, too, and Fraser could be convinced to be attracted to him - oh, that dangerous question again - it'd be perfect. Sweet story. Trinity is a nice OC. I do like the set-up with Benton gay and Ray not - especially when it still works out so nicely in the end. I'm a sucker for that type of stories. I like Ray's approach to the problem. Nice humor, very fitting for the show itself. I found it very cute when Ray was able to "translate" what Fraser said so easily he had to do so before he realised what Fraser was actually saying.

Roasted Hog Day by Jo & Ashinae
Before 11:54 each today, someone dies - usually Ray. Bento has to figure out a way to stop what's happening. At the same time he discovers his and Ray's feelings for one another. "Ahh, nothing like some roasted hog in the morning!" Ray said joyfully. Fresh take on the classic storyline, with a lot of humor, but also a bit of angst and sweet love. Great resolution.

To Laugh in Troubled Times by Lucy Hale
Many hide behind a facade - but few hide so well and deeply as Turnbull. We can hardly feel bad for being recognized as what we both pretend to be. I always liked the idea that there are far, far, far more behind Turnbull than the eye can see. Very interesting story from a different perspective. Overall cute.

	Lord of the Ring Disclaimer and information I read the books when I was rather young and have always loved them. The movies are neat too.

Contractual Obligations by Lumelle added 140305
Legolas and Gimli confesses their feelings and becomes lovers. But much, much later, the inevitable happens: Gimli grows old - and Legolas does not. Legolas mourns their eventual parting. Unbeknownst to him, though, Gimli is also concerned - and has done what he can to make sure that he and his elf will never be parted. Will his plan work? As long as he stands beside me, I will not set sail, for the call of the sea is nothing when he still stands on the shore. Nice set-up, very good emotion, nice with the angst and lovely fix with the contracts. Many good details, such with the dwarf beads and courting braids. A nice read. I really liked Giml's speech on talking to Legolas' father about their love, very moving and warm. Nice dashes of humor too. And I like that it's not completely "Happy ever after", but how even in "paradise" there can be longings. A bit sad about Frodo and Sam just going, I hope they make their journey. Neat with the "Kili-loophole". Nice shifts between Gimli's hair going white and then red. While Gimli and Legolas is my chosen pairing in this fandom, I did like Bilbo/Thorin too.

Crystal Journey by The Magic Rat
As a young Elf, Legolas go with his father to visit Erebor. There he finds a baby dwarf and falls in love with him. Many years later, they are reunited. "And when you grow up you're going to marry me! Awww-worthy and inspiring.

I Will Follow by arachne
Gimli ponders what to do with Galadriel's gift and Legolas comes to his rescue. Who can say what is fair to another's eyes? Very sweet and promising. Short, still awwww-inspiring.

The Very Secret Diaries
My personal favorites are those of Aragorn, Arwen, Boromir, Gollum, Sauron, Legolas, Meriadoc, Saruman, Pippin and Theoden. Still the prettiest! Some of these are hysterically funny and I really adore some of them.

Discworld Disclaimer and information Pratchett is a brilliant writer. Saw him across a room once, yay. The movies are good too, I like them. I haven't found many good stories, I think since so few measure up to the Master. I'd love to find some more Vimes/Vetenari though. Vetinari rules.

Music by B.S. Johnson added 130430
Vetinari did something that alerted Sam to his interest. But while Sam might be interested, he is also a married man. But when Sybil realises what has Sam so upset, Sybil proves to be surprisingly encouraging. I have a rather alarming degree of faith in your husband's ability not to kill me, unless he really means it. Poor Sam, no chance. Lovely use of Sybil. Nice work on the emotions, told by the faint signals between Sybil and Vetinari. Heh for Sybil socialising with Mrs Palm.

Non Temetis Messor by Mistress Arion V/LoQ
Vetinari finds that he must deal with the most dangerous man in Ankh-Morkpork - no, not himself ... But things doesn't really go as planned. A genius with rose-tinted lenses and the world-view of a concussed duckling would never, could never be safe. Good language, funny. Definitelly Awww-worthy. Not a huge romance, but something that warms my heart.

CSI Disclaimer and information

Walking With Death by Tiffany F
Death has noticed the CSI workers and are wondering what they are doing. So he asks Grissom. Who tries to answer. His eyes narrowed as he realized it was a seven foot tall skeleton in a black robe holding a scythe. Lovely idea, with humor.

Alexander Disclaimer and information I don't like RPS, so sometimes I have to remind myself that, well, yeah, Alexander ... I have been a Philalexandros forever and ever, he's kind of my hero ... The Stone movie I actually like: it's not accurate in all details, but it has a nice flow and it makes me smile. And the subtitle always makes me go awww ... The Greatest Legend of Them All ... Was Real. Yes.

Hephaistion's Gift by CharlieMC
Bagoas helps Alexander and Hephaistion fullfill their love. I swear to you that I would have died the most delighted of men had I been struck dead in that moment! Rather sweet treesome, mostly PWP. A bit hot. Well written.

X-men Disclaimer and information Fun to watch and lots of possibilities.

Die Bier by Traum W/K
Logan get drunk together with Kurt and they have sex. Logan seemed intrigued by how soft and warm Kurt's fur was. Hot, slightly kinky due to Kurt's fur and tail. Seems well thought through.

Mine by glacis
Scott goes after Logan and the bike. However, when he finds him, Magneto is there and uses his powers to try to get Logan to kill Scott. Logan fights back with all he's got and in the process goes a bit primal. He had literally broken every bone in his body and ruptured every muscle and joint to keep from hurting Scott. Powerful idea of Logan fighting Magneto at the cost of his own body. I do like stories about self-sacrifice and such. I also liked the primal aspects of Logan here. And the image of Logan and Scott literally locked together by Logan's embrace. Nice ending too, with Xavier and the hint of Magneto - and aww for Magneto always missing Charles.

Pack Loyalties by Creed Cascade & Echo's Revenge Series
Wolverine and Scott finds two boys who turns out to be clones of Wolverine. They adopt the boys. Epsilon and Zeta are rather feral and its a bumpy road. They consider Wolverine their Alpha and Scott his Beta. Later on, they get a Beta of their own. There was nothing like a pair of your lovers overpossessive children to drag you kicking and screaming out of the closet. Interesting story. Warm, a good read. Hot. It would be fun to read more.

Starsky & Hutch Disclaimer and information I'm into the old series, not the new movie, but right now I only have the movie. For the record.

Conflict of Interest by managerie added 140102
Finch and Reese gets a new number - ot David Starsky. Starsky is now a police captain in Brooklyn. His lifepartner, Ken Hutchinson, is a NY city councilman. Reese goes undercover as a transfer police to Starsky's station, while Finch gets them a house opposite to Starsky & Hutch's and joins Hutch's gym class. Who is threathening Starsky and why doesn't the person seem aware of that Skarsky & Hutch have been a couple for decades now? If I only got you for a few months, it was more than I’d ever dreamed I would be allowed. Enjoyable crossover that treats both fandoms very well. Also an interesting case that works. Good emotion in both pairs. I seldom comment on the sex parts of a story aprt from 'hot', but I found even the sex well written and with good details. The slow awakening of Finch was interesteing and I liked Reese's obvious devotion to him. Many good lines and vivid images. Nice little misunderstanding about Reese's attitude to disabilities. Aww, John's masturbation fantasy of being welcomed home to Finch's house is so sweet! Cute with Fusco knowing of Starsky/him being a legend. Nice touch with the "Starsky's wife" thing. And I really liked the friendship described between Finch and Nathan, very warm and sweet. Nice dashes of angst. Cute with Bear. Nice end. Yay for the Machine assisting. Heh for Finch kneecapping the guy. One of my favourite parts was Starsky telling Reese that if Hutch wanted him dead he'd rather be dead, so good!

The Last Charade by Rosemary
Hutch finally has to tell his partner that he is in love with him - and face the consequences He wondered how Robin would tell Batman he was in love with him. Angst - lovely, lovely angst. Powerful story, very nicely done. Lover overcoming all obstacles. Intense.

Hellboy Disclaimer and information I'm into the old series, not the new movie, but right now I only have the movie. For the record.

What Might Have Been by lurker521
Hellboy doesn't save the day - instead he stays as Anung un Rama. He keeps Myers, though. Stroking the unconscious human like a beloved pet, he settled back to watch the world burn. My favorite Hellboy-fic. And a drabble - a longer version was promised, but I still wait eagerly for it, 5 years and counting. I find this one very inspiring and really wish for more.

Pet Shop of Horror Disclaimer and information One of the few manga I like.

	Highlander Disclaimer and information Classic fandom, though most of all I like Methos.

Deal With A Devil by LadyRa added 130225
Joe sells his soul in exchange for his legs. Methos finds out and goes to the crossroad to bargain back the soul from the king of Hel (and of the crossroads) in exchange for his own. Crowley agrees. Regret eating away at him, guilt, guilt, guilt, a Mount Vesuvius of Guilt, deadly lava flowing and destroying everything in its path, and years, decades, centuries, a millennium of life and death, and losing loved ones, killing loved ones, anger and rage and fury like a tsunami, and it all rolled over Crowley like the world's best champagne. Nice idea for a crossover. Both main characters works well for me. I don't see Methos as self-sacrificing, so I tend to think he had some deeper plan behind it all (while he did offer Duncan his throat, I fully think he banked on Duncan not accepting), but it all works out well in the end, so maybe he did. And I can fully see part of that plan involving beer. For some reason Crowley gave me a hint of Good Omen-vibes, while completely separate from the story. I found myself wondering what Aziraphale would say. And yes, I could easily see Methos able to hold his own and be himself with the king of hell. Nice bit of them both being protective of one another in the end, that made me smile.

Headhunter by Sleeps With Coyotes
The Hessian's sword thrust killed Ichabod, even if no-one noticed. He is an Immortal and returns to life. Methos has no time and no will to take on a student, so Ichabod turns to the best swordsman he knows - the Hessian. I'm standing guard as a man I just met engages in an alley with a murdering undead - the last time I was here, at least I had a scythe ... Perfect crossover with the swords. I love Methos, but seldom enjoy HL slash, so this was very nice. Neat idea, well written. Lovely, clash between the Hessian cutting off people's heads - and that being the only way to kill an Immortal.

Match light: a winter's tale by Rory V Pascaul
Outcast by everyone, Duncan sells matchsticks to survive. Following the classic story he lights three and at the third meets Death. That earnest entreaty stirred emotions in Death's heart that he long had thought lost. Nice fairytale. Weepy Duncan a bit, but nice still. I like the portrayal of Methos. Fairytale ending possibly unrealistically happy, but it is a fairytale, so ...

Swords at Sunset by Rory V Pascual
In payment for service rendered, each 10th year the Rider gets a virgin bride from one of the clans. This year he comes to Duncan's clan - only, none of Duncan's sisters is a virgin ... He takes Duncan instead. The Rider is under a curse breakable only by the love of an innocent. Kronos is involved and thing go dark. Since you and your daughters sought to break the pact, then I will make a different demand. Interesting story, I like the format, Duncan's sacrifice and humiliation and the struggle to turn what happened into something bareable. Hints of Beauty and the Beast.

The Duke's Reward by Astolat
The queen has decreed that Duncan must marry Adam Pierson, Duke of Montmorency. Duncan is not pleased to have to marry the foppish dandy, but will do his duty. And dying can be very inconvenient, especially with so many witnesses. I like the arranged marriage idea - that works out well. I have used it myself, even. Also am prone to like fops, as I'm into From Eroica With Love.

The Gift of the Gods by Ann_P
Methos revives in front of witnesses and is declared a Gift of the Gods to the village he lives in. Only, another village also wants such a gift and captures him. Joon felt ike his soul was being weighed and judged by those ageless eyes. Interesting insight in Methos' past, including an awww-worthy little sidestory about a Watcher who meets him.

The Seduction of the Desert Prince by The Krell
Set in the past. Duncan is captured and sold as a slave in Arabian. The buyer is a sheikh called Rashanal - or, a name he doesn't use openly, Methos. Methos wants Duncan - and intends to have him. Duncan, however, sees it as a disgrace to lay with another man - at least to start with. Methos can be very persuasive. On the other hand, Duncan is very stubborn and life in the desert not easy. A king's ransom would not be enough, Methos thought, swept with a possessiveness so fierce it burned him. Epic WIP. I remember reading when it was still being updated. I'm very sorry that it seems as if it won't ever be finished. I see it mentioned in discussions about WIPs sometimes. And how many fics have had vids made for them, that says a lot about how popular this fic is. Many good lines - I always remember that part about a copper for each day working, a silver for every day on his knees and a gold for each night on his back ... Lovely. Interesting play between Methos and Duncan - the borderline non-con, the power-dynamic, the submission and dominance. A bit of bodice ripper romance. Very hot sex. Interesting to have the scenes from both angles. Again, I'm very sad it seems to remain a WIP.

	Sherlock Holmes Disclaimer and information An old favourite. Though I mix in Sherlock with Sherlock Holmes here - I love both and see no reason to separate them. If I had the time I'd check out more Mycroft/Lestrate stories.

The Paradox Series by Wordstrings
John and Sherlock's relationship is riddled with paradoxes. They're both happily obsessed with one another. Sherlock can't always tell right fro wrong, but now he's got John to do so for him. What if this was all a terrible mistake, and now John is stuck with a charming and otherworldly queer instead of an infuriating John-sexual tosser with a brain like a razor blade? Nice description of both characters and I like the way they interact. Both show great love, though I especially enjoy Sherlocks' intenseness in his obsession. His lists are also interesting. Nice touch of humor. Strong emotion, well described. I was especially touched by Sherlock's pleas for John to come home again when he thinks that John has left him.

I Know The Steps by stardust_made
Mycroft has long longed for a reason to see Lestrade in real life and one day he gets a good reason. And in real life Lestrade is even more fascinating than Mycroft could have guessed. This man might cost him a great deal after all; Mycroft realises he's quite prepared to do anything to keep him. Nicely written. A bit aww-worthy in parts. Sweet. several good lines. The two goes well together while both being well in character. Especially Mycroft is almost sweet. Good language. Nice touch of humor.

Let You Kiss Me by out_there
Sherlock starts kissing John. At first John assumes that this behavior is just part of some bizarre experiment, but slowly he begins to suspect that Sherlock has a special reason for what he does. Only, what can that reason be? "You kissed me to stop me getting married, having children and moving to the countryside?" Several good lines. Both boys well in character - good use of Mycroft too. Interesting read, nice sense of humor, yet not silly but with a serious side. I like the comment of Sherlock as an alien and Sherlocks scheeming to keep John.

Paper Chase by sam_storyteller
John and Sherlock gos to America to help catch a serial killer. The killer goes after artists, so in on the chase is also Neal and Peter. On hearing how long it took for Peter to catch Neal, Sherlock is not impressed. So Neal challenges Sherlock for a 12 hour chase during which Neal will commit a fake crime every hour as Sherlock tries to capture him - and keep him captive. How will the chase end? A chase game across the southern half of Manhattan between one of the world's best fugitives and the world's only consulting detective was enthralling and could very well be educational. Nice crossover with good equality between the fandoms. Would have made a fun episode to watch.

Till Your Presence of Body by Mara
John is getting fed up with finding body parts around the apartment. Finally, Mycroft takes him aside for an illuminating talk. "But if I don't let him keep the body parts, he thinks I'm rejecting his ability to, what, be a good flatmate or husband or something?" Fun story and a very amusing explanation of the body parts. Interesting hints to the background and I like Mycroft in this one.

The Case of the Haunted Hospital by Mistress Arion
Doctor Watson gets a mystery for himself to solve - a moving corpse ... I assumed you knew, and tolerated my emotions as you would a child's longing for the moon. Nice language. I especially enjoy Doctor Watson giving Sherlock Holmes the what for. A lovely dose of angst. Sweet too. Accusations, confessions, several nice lines.

The Maiden Voyage of the Tiresias by astalot
Watson arranges for him and Holmes to go on vacation, but Holmes only agrees if he can go in disguise, challenging Watson to find out who he is. Only Watson does a bit of snooping and is shocked to realise that Holmes intends to go as a woman. Now what will Watson do? "Thank god, you do know," he said, and gave himself over entirely. Beautiful language, nice story, well executed, nice emotion.

Your Moral Crisis is Stupid by etothepii
Sherlock is romantically attracted to Watson, but not sexually. He's asexual, but willing to have sex with Watson to keep Watson happy. However, Watson is not happy with this compromise and Sherlock thinks things won't work out. Can they? "I love you," Sherlock says steadily, like the idea doesn't make him feel panicky and shaky and vaguely nauseous. Nice description of asexuality, it works very well in the story. Several nice lines, also a nice bit of humor. Warm and interesting. Nice hints of angst. Cute title too. I like Sherlock's fascination with Watson.

Sleepy Hollow Disclaimer and information Lovely movie, one of my favourites.

Slash Hollow by Kadorienne added 130513
AU in which Brom is not killed by the Hessian. Insteads he protects Ichabod. And when Ichabod leaves for New York, it's not Katrina that goes with him, but Brom. Brom becomes a constaple in New York, working with Ichabod. They also live together and shares a bed. Do the math. Everyone but Ichabod was afraid of Brom, and Ichabod was afraid of everyone but Brom. While Brom/Ichabod isn't my main pairing in Sleepy Hollow, a good author can make it work and this certainly works. Sweet relationship, but also an interesting story when they solve crime together. Nice feeling between them and I like how devoted Brom is to Ichabod, yet is not afraid to joke with him. Several good lines. Nice plot device with the chinese dragon. Interesting backstory for Ichabod and what happened in his early career in the police force. Nice that ichabod gets to prove that some of his techniques work. Aww for Brom spending the rest of his life as Ichabod's "bodyguard".

Ichabod and the Hessian by Heather Sparrows
Ichabod is about to leave Sleepy Hollows, but is stopped by the Horseman, who wants him to help him with something. Will Ichabod be able to help and what will happen afterwards? Later in the series a crossover to a From Eroica With Love AU, set in the time of Sleepy Hollows. One of Klaus's missions take him to America - and he has to birng Dorian. In America he meets up with an American police man, Ichabod Crane, and an associate of his, a man with very sharp teeth. Lord Gloria was indeed a picture to stare at, a tall, slender figure in an electric blue dressing gown, enhancing the colour of his eyes, a lion’s mane of golden curls framing his handsome face and falling down to his shoulders. Interesting story, well written, nice detals. Nice descrition and good emotions. Nice touch of a bond between them after Ichabod touched the Hoseman's skull. I especially liked the veiw from Daredevl - beautiful. Interesting backstory for the Hessia. The crossover also interesting. Good, intelligent plot. Several interesting original characters. Warm, even if a hint dark in places. Nice dashes of humor. Good, suitable language. James in good shape and I like that he got a happy ending and aww for him giving away money. Cute with Klaus smoking pipe and heh for the tank drawing.

Dance of the Damned by Sithelf Jen bookverse
Brom scares Ichabod, pretending to be the Horseman - only the prank go very, very wrong. But the real Horseman is still around. I want them dead, especially Brom, and to Hell with the consequences. Somewhat dark story, but understandable.

Ichabod and Robert by Heather Sparrows
Katrina and Ichabod travels to the city, but they are not in love. However, in the city waits what might be both of their future in a very special pair. Also, a clarification of Ichabod's past and a special case to solve, with a special guest star. Lying in the arms of a man who easily could maim and kill you, and who would never do so, who would protect you against all evil instead, was an erotic thrill not to be underestimated. Several interesting original characters. Dark in part, but interesting. The diary I liked. Nice dashes of supernatural, very suitable for Sleepy Hollow. Nice with the crossed pair of lovers/married couples.

Headhunter by Sleeps With Coyotes
The Hessian's sword thrust killed Ichabod, even if no-one noticed. He is an Immortal and returns to life. Methos has no time and no will to take on a student, so Ichabod turns to the best swordsman he knows - the Hessian. I'm standing guard as a man I just met engages in an alley with a murdering undead - the last time I was here, at least I had a scythe ... Perfect crossover with the swords. I love Methos, but seldom enjoy HL slash, so this was very nice. Neat idea, well written. Lovely, clash between the Hessian cutting off people's heads - and that being the only way to kill an Immortal.

Hearts in Darkness by ZzoaozZ
Ichabod is pulled back towards Sleepy Hollow and the waiting Hessian. However, Katarina is not willing to give him up. This was the culmination of his life and death, the salvation he had not thought to find, his only glimpse of Heaven. Nice read, interesting series with believable plots for each part. I liked the room of the Hessian. Nice take on the Hessian and how he seems Ichabod. Interesting crossover int he third part. Nice dashes of humor. Bad Katerina in the first part, but she did better in the second, so that'sokay. Heh for Ichabod having vast experience in hiding and chosing Wolverine as a safe place to hide behind.

Sword and Bones by Sleeps With Coyotes
Someone steals the Hessian's sword for a dare -and the Hessian follows. Only the man manages to hand over the sword - to Ichabod. And when the Hessian finds Ichabod with the sword he is not amused ... However, there's more behind the theft of the sword than a mere dare. A man could not serve two masters, and apparently neither could a ghost. Interesting concept, nicely woven tale. Interesting ending - and always nice to read well written Sleepy Hollow.

The Christmas Gift by Anna-Karin
There is a party in Sleepy Hollows. Outsides stands the Horseman, looking in. Ichabos joins him. If you didn't faint every now and then, I wouldn't recognize you. This story is very warming. The image of the horseman always moves me. But also I find very inspiring how Sleepy Hollow accepts the horseman. Sweet too, nicely written.

The Demon Seed by Starr Dust
A coupling combined with magic waters result in something truly unexpected. He would only pray that the beautiful young man would take pity on him and allow him to see their child once in a while, but he knew that it was much more than a monster like him deserved. Not a fandom I would exect mpreg in, but it worked for me. Some lovely parts with nice angst. I felt a bit inspired by this one, possibly for some future story. A bit of casual to the mpreg bit itself. Bitchy Katrina, which I like on occasion. The story picks up for real about half-way in, when the Hessian appears.

The Strange Case Of The Reverend by Heather Sparrows
Professor von Helsing is travelling in the US with a friend when they're lost in a snowstorm and finds shelter with Reverend Crane. But something strange is going on in the household. Then the Reverend turns up dead - what happened? And what will happen to the reverend's young son, Ichabod? //Wish I was just a silly old man, making a fool of myself, seeing ghost where there are none, suspecting an innocent man in my dirty, twisted mind ...// Interesting little whodunnit, with depth. A bit dark, but interesting story idea, well executed. Good language and I like the ending.

Van Helsing Disclaimer and information Interestning movie and I really liked the dynamic.

Brother Wolf by kydasam
Carl is dragged out on a case again. He has invented a werewolf serum and Van Helsing goes up against a werewolf. The serum works - Van Helsing doesn't get transformed - but Carl does ... He remembered the handsome man the friar had been, but the wolf he had become was mythic. Nice language, good feeling. Series sadly not concluded, as author died - family hopes to have story finished by someone too - I hope so. Really nice human-wolf interaction. Nice bits of rape threats. Nice archs and action. Especially nice to see Carl as the stronger part of the duo. Amusing in places.

Brothers In Arms by JoeLawson
Carl goes with Van Helsing to the Carphathias to fight Dracula. They join forces with Anna and the movie plays out. However, Carl is attracted to Gabriel and the two men grow increasingly closer. His hands no longer shook when he found himself within touching distance to the Church's greatest assassin and the long folds of his cowl hid the occasional erection nicely. Several neat phrases. Nice descriptions, emotions well shown. I do have a weak spot for Carl topping Van Helsing and this was very nicely written. Some hot sensual scenes, also nicely done, but I liked best Carl's emotions and the described feelings. Good ending with the manticore blood and a nice twist with Dracula.

Heart by H.J. Bender
When Van Helsing gets back for a mission, Carl has a gift for him. "Why else would you give me the symbol of everlasting love?" Short and sweet story.

Modern Day Hunter by Seadragon68
Carl is attacked by gargoyles - and saved by Van Helsing. Van Helsing is injured, so Carl takes him home. He realises that Van Helsing has very little help from the order, and he decides that he is the man to help Van Helsing. It's a rocky road, but the two are good for one another. Hey Carl, I know this will probably horrify you, but the mongrel you took in has developed feelings for you. Set in modern time. Cute idea, a nice read and a hint of angst too, very nice. Nicely in character even for an AU.

Secrets by Seadragon68
Carl has a secret. He's writing on something - and Van Helsing is not allowed to see. But then Van Helsing reads it anyway and have to deal with the consequences which can break them both. Did this mean that Van Helsing's disgust ran so deep that he would turn Carl in? Angst, bordering on fear which has a nice feel to it. Sweet too.

Kyo Kara Maoh Disclaimer and information One of the few animes that I really like. Sadly they stopped translating them ... My favourite pairing is Yuri and Conrad, but Yuri/Gwendal works too, or Gwendal/Gunther.

At Snail's Pace by Celeste1
From childhood, Gwendal has helped Gunter with all his problems, solving them neatly. Now Gunter has a new problem - he needs a boyfriend. "I need a boyfriend, and you are a snail," Guther said almost shyly, and made Gwendal blink again, because he wasn't sure how those two things were related. Sweet story with hints of classic fairytale mixed well with canon elements.

Can't Take No For An Answer by Kali-Cephirot
Lady Celi comes to visit Stoffel to discuss his feelings for Raven. Stoffel is a bit surprised, as he thought Celi loved Raven. Celi, however, is quite determined. "Excellency," Raven said, a bit of panic over his voice, "We seem to be ... locked in, Excellency." Cute and I always saw this pairing in the anime.

Learning by icefalcon
List of 10 points Yuri learns during the day, mixing ordinary things with slashy stuff. He learned that when Gwendal was heading very fast in one direction, it was best to run and ask questions about Anissina's new inventions later. Cute, but mostly on the humorous side.

Souvenir by MusikVibe
Going back to Earth, Yuri manages to drag Gwendal along ... You have some interesting quirks, but you're really a nice guy. Sadly WIP, as promising, interesting story. While I prefer Y/C I do have a very weak spot for G/Y. A bit wavery here and there, and I'm not used to the used tense, but still interesting. Too bad it doesn't seem to be finishing ...

The Dance Of Earth And Wind by jellybeanfactory
Gwendal is a good dancer, but the Dance of Earth and Wind is giving him trouble. When his partner is a man, there's always tension and arguments of who will dance Wind and who will dance Earth. Until his mother introduces him to Gunter von Christ, who prefers Wind. "I can't imagine why other men wouldn't want to be Wind to your Earth," Gunther replied, while wrapping his arms about Gwendal's neck in answer to Gwendal's gesture to prepare for the dance, "even before dancing, you seem to have the perfect disposition for it." Interesting story idea, I can really see the situation before me - and would love to see it in the anime. I like the ending - aww-worthy.

Token of my Love by peroxidepest17
Gwendal teaches Gunter to knit. This does not go very well. In order to prevent Gunter from meddling and Yuri from having to actually wear the things Gunter knits, Gwendal makes a considerable sacrifice. The lavender-haired man was practically sobbing into the kitty-ears cap he was attempting to knit for Yuri, a self-proclaimed mission of love he had put upon himself after thinking that the young king looked particularly dashing in the bear one Gwendal had made four him. Sweet story that makes me smile. Nicely in character, especially Gwendal. One of those stories I'd love to see illustrated.

Two Ways to Interrupt or Otherwise Ruin a Young Maou's Love life by Elf Asato
Conrad and Yuri are getting it on, but this story - two versions of the same theme - shows the danger in such situations, when you travel by use of water. In two words: water-based lube ... It wasn't easy to traumatize Conrad, but it was, in fact, possible. Kind of funny.

Unforgettable by Raven Deathstar
Yuri and Conrad are in Japan and learn things about one another. I am a seasoned soldier, the king's protector, and yet I'm swooning over every single thing his majesty says to me. Lovely little dose of angst in thinking oneself unworthy and thusly sacrifising - awww ... Sweet.

Good Omens Disclaimer and information

Gray Areas by Macx and Lara Bee
Each part is more or less separate story from the life of Aziraphale and Crowley: some just examples of their love, others small adventures. They are no longer representatives of Heaven and Hell, but independent agents that TPTB sometimes ask to do things. A second arc is the budding relationship between the Prince of Hell and God's second in command - and their adventures as well. Also a cute CSI Las Vegas Crossover in one part. He shivered, aware that there was a very powerful demon touching him, that this demon had him at his mercy, and that there was nothing he could do should Beelzebub decide that playtime was over and to score with his boss by taking out the highest of archangels. Lovely angst, great emotions. Both pairings are lovely, though I'm especially fond of the B/M relationship. Nicely done the substories of each of them getting hurt and being rescued - I like that. Open end, but can definitely be read as whole, each story in itself is finished, so while I do hope for more installments it's not what I'd label a WIP.

Crumpled Memories by QueenStrata
Crowley was taken to Hell for punishment. Some time later, Aziraphale rereads a crumpled note Crowley once wrote, and finally makes his decision. Well, Heaven's fury is found in this one angel, for he alone of them is heartbroken, vengeful, and full of hate. Kickass!Aziraphale is delicious and I'm always glad to read him. Cute note. Normally I don't like open ending much, but in this case it works very nicely as I felt secure with that all with end well. Nice read. Awww for Crowley making Aziraphale take the rose.

Falling Rain by AriaStar
God floods the Earth, killing everyone not on the Arc. Crowley hides as a snake onboard, to avoid the holy water. However, Aziraphale finds him. This is before the Agreement- but perhaps they are off to a good start when Aziraphale lets Crowley stay on the Arc and gives him wine. There was just some sort of horrible ache in Crowley's chest, and as long as he ignored it and buried his face in Aziraphale's shoulder, everything was all right for a little while. Lovely idea of the rain being holy water and Crowly must avoid it. Nice build up between the two. Very aww-worthy towards the end. Several good lines.

Falling Without a Parachute by Musegaarid James Bond/Crowley
Bond meets a very suspect character and attempts to seduce him out of his secrets. I remember thinking at the time that it was odd how well-developed the muscles in his back were compared to the rest of him. Hot and interesting. Interesting idea, especially how an outsider can view the mystery that is Crowley.

Love Sentence by Hopeakaarme
My favorites: bugs, doors, end, flying, green, hope and light. Aziraphale always made sure to close the door carefully, so when Crowley heard the loud slam, he knew he was in trouble. 1 sentence challenge. 50 words, you write a sentence each for the pairing. Made me start my own sets, actually. Some very cute one-liners and neat ideas.

Innocence and Experience Redux by Musegaarid
Crowley is shocked to learn that Aziraphale has been "making love" to humans! He himself is a virgin. Now he insists that Aziraphale does it with him too. Aziraphale obliges. Of course, that's not the whole of it. Meanwhile, Crowley felt as if he'd been temporarily forgiven and accepted back in Heaven. Clever little story, nicely written with considerale feeling. Very sensual massage and especially with the wings, very descriptive. Nice dash of humor. I especially like Ziraphale in this one. Aww for Crowley joining orgies for warmth. Also for Crowley having a painting of an angel (with some resemblance to Aziraphale) in his bedroom.

Pirate of the Apocalypse by CaptainEmo
It's the apocalypse (again ...) and Aziraphale and Crowley meet again. Then they were back-to-back, a tag team against the forces of good and evil. The set-up is a bit odd, but the conclusion makes up for a lot.

Redemption by Slightly Sinister Sinestra
Crowley and Aziraphale will have dinner, but Aziraphale never shows. When Crowley comes home, an angel meets him. Not Aziraphale. Aziraphale is missing. He's been taken to Hell. So Crowley goes to get him back. Arching down like a bird of prey, eyes blazing yellow fury, claws fully outstretched, Crowley rent open the way to Hell and plunged into its lurid depths. Dark in parts, but also a powerful story. Nice language and strong. Also a nice secondary story with Crowley and Jesus. A bit tear worthy, even. Self-sacrifice in the name of love.

Remnants of an Old War by icarus_chained
Crossover with Supernatural, where Crowley is the Crowly of both. After the first almost-Apocalypse, Aziraphale is hideously punished, but Gabriel helps Crowley rescue him. And later, Gabriel finds refuge with them. Stubborn angel can't stand not being able to help, and Crowley can never resist him when he really wants something. Interesting crossover, a hint sad with what happens to Aziraphale, but some very nice phrasings and also beautiful. Loving. Nice little humor too.

The Buddhist Baths by Vaguely Downwards
Bored by everything, Aziraphale joins a Buddhist temple as Brother Ladybug. One day, when he goes to the baths, a snake is waiting for him. I've been on the receiving end of your righteous sword, angel, and it's not as pleasant as it sounds. Aww ... Several cute remarks, very nicely in character and in good tone with the book.

The Mummy Disclaimer and information

Another Time by BlackRose
Rick does not believe in past lives - but Ardeth does - and he remmebers Rick form one of their past lives - and what they were to one another. If he did, would he remember the press of my thighs or the feel of my body as I gave to him, willingly, what I would have killed another man for even suggesting Poor man, I do hope things will work out for them eventually. I like the style in which this was written. A bit sad, but very potent. Short, but with good lines.

Marks by Nanuk_dain
Jonathan is attracted to Ardeth Bey, even ten years after their first meeting. Little does he know that his feelings are answered, so to approach the Med-jai seems like a bad idea. Jonathan avoided looking at the Med-jai, not wanting to see his death sentence in those dark eyes just yet. Sweet story. Them sleeping together was really awww-worthy, as was Jonathan going with Ardeth out in the desert. Overall a nice read. Hot in parts too. I liked the ending - and the sequel was also a sweet read. Warming story.

The Mummy Survives by Katatonia
Just as Imhotep is about to die, Jonathan saves him. Imhotep is graceful and interested as to whether Jonathan has a wife or ... not ... Maybe it wasn't a matter of finding the right woman so much as finding the right person. Nice story.

The A-Team Disclaimer and information

I don't Wanna Fall In Love With You by sweettsakuya
Hannibal falls in love with Face the first time he sees him, but Face has secrets and has been hurt before, badly. Will Hannibal be able to get his beloved to trust him? He craved the little accidental touches, and the smile he received for procuring those cigars always took his breath away. Warmly written, romantic story with a nice dose of angst. Strong emotions and love. Nice description of Face's abilities to get things. Poor Face.

Blood Ties Disclaimer and information Good books by an author I like - and I really liked the show, especially the dynamic between Fitzroy and Celluci. Sadly I haven't found many good stories.

Close Enough by Ellex
After Fitzroy drinks from Celluci, both are tired, especially Celluci. Vicki takes them both to Fitzroy's apartment, but then she leaves them sleeping while she gets food for Celluci. Fitzroy wakes first and watches Celluci sleep. When Celluci wakes up they starts to reach a truce - or even more. Running his own hands across Henry’s back, feeling muscles like steel cable sheathed in smooth, yielding flesh, he was once again struck by how easy it would be for the vampire to overpower him – but this time, the thought was almost titillating instead of frightening. Nice tension between the two men. Several good lines, hot sex. I would love to read more about them, while good in themselves these stories would have been a great start for a long series. Still nice reads. Well described emotions and sensations.

Unintentional Attraction by BELOVEDbyWAR
Henry has a problem with women pursuing him. Celluci helps him by preending to be his boyfriend. The acting gets a bit too realistic ... Big hands wandered up and down his back caressing him like he was something precious while that delicious mouth planted butterfly kisses down his jaw, only to finally dive down to suck at his throat. The setup made me smile. Poor Mike ... I do hope it works out for them. Some hot scenes. I hope for more parts of this story, as it ended with a bit of a cliffhanger.

Reason To Live by BELOVEDbyWAR
Mike gets suspended and depressed. Henry orders him to find a reason to live - so, Mike does: Henry. But a careless comment from Viki nearly ruins everything. On top of this a tragic love story spanning the millennia and which might finally reach a resolution. By laying his head on his folded arm, he exposed his neck and those pulsing veins even more to the vampire’s gaze. Poor Mike. Hot and lovely between him and Henry. I greatly enjoyed the subplot between Augustus and Sandulf. Some very nice descriptions of especially Sandulf (but of others as well).

	Dexter Disclaimer and information I love Dexter, he's great. I prefer the TV show to the books, though. As I mostly read slash I haven't found many good stories, considering Dexter's limitations and, well, the slashes tend to be rather bloody around him ... I would love to find good stories with him and Quinn.

Promises on a Silver Wind by amosanguis
Brian agrees to follow Harry's code. He and Dexter kills together. And to kill together isn't the only thing the brothers do together. Eventually, Debs finds out. Debra doesn't know which is worse. Finding out that (a) her brother is gay, (b) said brother is fucking her boyfriend, (c) said boyfriend just so happens to be her brother's brother, or, (d) they're both serial killers. While this story diverges from canon it does so in a very true fashion. I could have easily seen Brian join Dexter instead of what happened. Maybe they wouldn't have brought incest into the play, but the rest I could really see. Poor Debs. Lovely darkness, well written in a nice flow that seems believable. Several nice lines for such a short story. I would love to read more in this universe. Dark, but then, it's Dexter. Good dynamic between the brothers.

Blackadder Disclaimer and information

The Wedding Night by Bad Faery
Melchett marries "Georgina". And then what ...? Maybe the General would kiss him again before he shot him. I hesitated when I saw the pairing, but the fic was quite lovely. Actual moments of Awww ... Angsty too.

Artemis Fowl Disclaimer and information

Mine by Kelly Holden
All his life, he had belonged to him. As simple as that. "He is mine now, my lover, mine alone." There are not many stories out there of this pairing - and fewer still that are good. Clever writing on the author's part, a hint on non-con in the air, interesting, though highly believable twist in the end. Well done for such a short story.

Out of Sight, out of mind by Mottlemoth

NCIS Disclaimer and information

Macavity by Lady Ra added 130506
Tony will soon be 40 when he starts receiving strange phone calls, warning him. He spends the evening before his birthday in Gibb's house. Then it's his birthday - and he's bit by a rat. Suddenly he can understand and command rats. And then he's scratched by a hawk - and he can understand and command hawks. Follows cats, wasps, owls, bats and so on and so forth. But as Tony's power grows, it also grows more difficult to keep secret, and many sees his power as something that can be used - for good or for evil. One of the forces of good is SHIELD with Coulson sending Barton to find out more. The cat wasn't much for talking or apologizing, but Tony did get a strong sense of the cat being very sure that he was Tony's consigliore, standing loyal and ready to kill anyone who looked at Tony the wrong way. One of the most original, interesting stories I've read in a long time. Nice crossover with two strong couples, heaps of great OCs and lots of lovely details. A universe I would love to read more in and some threads that would be neat to know more about - where does the power come from, who made the initial calls, the getting younger bit, etceteras. Interesting with the main characters not yet in a relationship when the story starts, but so very intimate with one another, dancing and so on. Very nice interaction between the main characters as well as between them and the animals. Nice humor. I love all the animals, great personalities all around, so much warmth and love. Cute with the changing rules to allow Gibbs, later Barton and others, to participate in the miracle. I'd been recced Coulson/Barton prior to reading this and this was the push I needed, I've now read huge amounts and love them! Baloo is lovely - everyone should get bear hugs. And I do like Moth and Beetle - so cute with BArton admiring Beetle. Sad about the aunt. The rescue mission at the end was really cool, good use of everyone and Tony's powers. Macavity and the mobster system also made me smile. Neat with the tattoo. Heh for Baloo and Raksha trying to knock treed Barton down and his call to Coulson to let him know was great.

A Day Gone Wrong by Lady Jane
Tony loves Gibbs. but when Ziva hosts a dinner party for everyone, not inviting Tony - and noone cares, not even Gibbs, Tony knows it is time to leave. But what is really going on? That little tidbit he'd kept to himself all these years, knowing Gibbs would can him if he even suspected he was the object of his senior agent's desire. Sweet story, with feeling but also a bit of humor.

A Greater Gift than Love by Terizia Glenn
Tony has a really shitty day and then he gets the ultimate proof of Gibb's love ... Because he knew without a doubt, totally, unquestionably, indubitably that Gibbs - Jethro - loved him more than life itself. Funny and Awww ... Makes me smile.

Angel of Death by ksl
As Gibbs watches over Tony as Tony recovers from Y Pestis, Tony has an unexpected visitor - Sam - a death angel. It turns out that Sam and Tony has met many times before and are good friends. "You can't have him," Gibbs hissed, eyes narrowed in importent anger, determined to do the impossible. Nice building of relationship, but I also find the idea of the death angel and his friendship with Tony both intriguing and inspiring.

Anonymity by James
Tony has a habit of getting men to tie him up and fuck him. This has gotten him into trouble at previous work places. When Gibbs comes to confront him about it, Tony's sure his time at the NCIS has come to an end. But what is Gibbs really angry about? For a brief moment he thought he should have tried to beg for his job. Lovely bit of angst when Gibbs confronts him, I really like that. Nice twist, hot, interesting, but a bit of sweet too.

Awakening by The Tenth Muse1
After camping alone for several days, Tony returns home a changed man - a very sensitive one ... Gibbs take care of him, with some help from an ex army ranger with an anthropology sidekick. And if that really was a preview of hell, then he was damned sure going to Mass on Sunday and bringing Gibbs with him. Cute. All fandoms need a crossover like this to the Sentinel. Interesting idea, I've let it (partly) inspire me to one of my own stories. Aww for Tony trying to protect "his" guide from strange sentinels.

Good Boy by copperbadge
Tony is a serial killer - and Gibbs knows. He never takes souvenirs, already aware he's going to be a cop. Interesting story, thoughtworthy. Partly inspired me to one of my own drabbles.

	Merlin Disclaimer and information Nice show that I used to read a lot in a couple of years ago and keep meaning to get back to, now that it is finished. Alas, so many shows, so little time.

The Beltane Cycle by astolat added 130307
When twelve sorcerors attack Arthur, Merlin is forced to reveal his powers -and Uther promptly orders his execution. Arthur saves him - but now both they and Arthur's men are banished from Camelot. What will they do? And then all twelve sorcerors raised their hands and blasted at him across the hall, huge red-golden leaping arcs of flame, and their light glowed yellow on Merlin's face and in his eyes as he raised a hand and all the fire spilled away from him like a river parted by a stone. I liked the part of the plot with Herne. If the story continues I hope for more of that angle. I was always a tiny bit disappointed that they went with the dragon angle in the show. Lovely voice for Herne, I liked the effects described. My favorite stories of Merlin has him far superior to all the other magicians and this was a nice example of that. Also a nice dash of humor. I really liked Merlin's accidental audio scrying. Nice emotion.

The Tower by astolat added 130307
Arthur returns to Camelot to find that Uther ordered Gaius tortured to reveal the sorceror's whereabouts- and, in retaliation, the sorceror freed Gaius, caused havoc and raised a tower of fear in Camelot. He also finds out that the sorceror is Merlin ... "No one will ever take you from me, no one will ever rescue you; you'll be mine, always, Arthur, always-- Sad about Gaius, but the rest I like. I think how potentially dangeorus Merlin could be is one of the most interesting parts of the show.

Am Prionnsa, an t-amadan agus na meirlich by Kaz
Arthur and Merlin are captured by bandits and in the process Merlin's magic is revealed. Now what will Arthur do? "Could you possibly stop shouting at me for just a moment and tell me whether you're going to have me executed or not?" Cute story. Shows emotions very wll. I enjoyed Arthur's disbelief, but also Merlin's fright was interesting. Nice lined, well formulated, a good read.

All The Laughter From Before by waldorph
Merlin uses magic to save Arthur's life - and Uther has him summarily executed. With Merlin dead, things in Camelot gets very, very different. Uther might very well come to doubt his action. But what really happened that day? Finally, ageless moments later, Arthur shimmers green and Merlin sparkels gold and then he steps back and his lips quirk inappropriately and he says, "Well, if I'm going to die, I might as well save you one last time." Strong, very thoughtworthy story. Very interesting look of Camelot after what happened. Vivid and realistic. Interesting development. Sad in parts, of course, but well worth it. Great end, leaves on a good note despite the death theme. Me likes.

And Eyes Without Speaking Confess by BlackEyedGirl
Five short stories in which the secret is revealed (or isn't). Uthor finds out about Merlin's magic, Gwen does, Arthur at different times - all with different outcomes. He knows that modesty is a virtue, but he has wanted so long to show someone else what he can do. I liked several of the stories, ranging from sad to potent to amusing to thought-worthy.

Bath Time by Faramirlover
Arthur accidentally orders Merlin to have sex with him. Merlin's reaction isn't really enthusiastic. Why not? It was only when Merlin stood up that Arthur realised that Merlin hadn't kissed him back. Nice story, short, but sweet. Logical.

Before the Morning Watch One Vision and Five Futures by Deastar
Morgana dreams that she will have a child, from which follows five separate stories in each of which a different man is the father and different paths follows. "I have given my body to men for money," she exhales in a rush, and without her consent a tear slips out of her eye and down her cheek. He trembles against her, and just as she is about to turn away and forget this as a foolish thing, he breathes out, shuddering, "So have I." The different stories are all interesting, but my particular favorite is the story with Lancelot, two broken people working together, helping each other and moving towards their destiny. That story worked very well for me, I like the angst and the strengths and the weakness. Good ending too. Several good lines overall, though, and I liked the others too, especially the Merlin one.

Destiny and Lying Dragons by Ramasi
Arthur finds out about Merlin's magic. He doesn't react too badly - in fact, he seems to have a thing for it. I'm going to have the ban on magic lifted because the new king gets off on the way my eyes change colour when I do magic. Nice touch of emotion and uncertainty on Merlin's part as to what Arthur will do. I wasn't quite sure of the order of the stories, but together they tell a nice tale.

Drastically Redefining Protocol by rageprufrock
Modern day AU. Arther is the prince of Wales. He visits a hospital and encounters Merlin, who works there. They keep meeting up and one thing leads to another. But what will the world say if the paparazzi finds out that the prince of Wales has a male lover and what will that do to Arthur and Merlin's relationship? Leaning heavily against a wall, ARthur said in between catching his breath, "This may surprise you, Merlin, but the monarchy doesn't actually keep a pack of trained rape dogs." Interesting premis. Nice story too. I like the interaction between the characters, the nearness, but also the humor. Several good lines. Especially the rape dog comment made me smile. Nicely written.

In Soggy Slippers And Bathrobe He's Crowned by Emrysmile
When Arthur is taken to Avalon, Merlin finds a way to wait for him. Current time, Arthur, six years, goes out in the forest and finds a strange rock, with a sword on top. He can't pull the sword, but the rock likes him. Arthur visited every day without fail for almost eight years, bringing homework – which always seemed to grade well now - to complete upon his boulder, chatted vaguely about girls he liked until he noticed the rock turned cold when he did so he stopped. I found the image of Merlin waiting for Arthur like this powerful and the reaction of the rock moving. Good images with a nice ending. What they did in the series end was interesting, but something like this would have worked for me too. Good use of Morgana. Cute with the woods protecting Arthur.

In Turning We Come Right Around by Janne_d
Arthur is magically turned into a woman. He and Merlin has to hide this, as Arthur will otherwise be disowned as crown prince - and possibly married off. As a complication, Merlin is attracted to Arthur. "Did you do this to me?" Arthur bit out, finally turning with a set, cold expression on his face. Interesting story. Very hot in part, nice ending.

Love Potion No_9 - or - A Midsummer Night's Dream in Camelot by rubberbutton
Merlin makes a kind of love potion, which makes people fall in love with the first person they see. Unfortunatelly, Morgana accidentally drinks it. And Merlin is the first she sees. And then Arthur also expresses feelings for Merlin ... You've already said you don't return my affections, though kissing me seems to be a colossal case of mixed signals. Classic set-up, but one I never get tired of. Awww ... Nice with a satisfying resolve. I like how things came about too and I can really see Merlin getting into this mess.

Merlin!Merlin Verse by firewolfsg
Merlin is transformed into a merlin. In this shape he stays in Camelot with Arthur and has adventrues, such as learning how to fly - and, which proves much harder, land. Geese, rabbits and cats. And Arthur, supportive, if a bit exaspirated at times. Honestly, Arthur swore Merlin was really the most incompetent bird alive to be afraid of heights. Aww ... Sweet series, one of those that makes you smile all through reading. Very cute idea, nicely developed. Makes me want more. Several funny scenes. I really like the interaction between Arthur and Merlin, but I also liked Uther in this one. More would be great, but it works very well as it is, too. Nice use of the dragon. Preslash.

Off The Beaten Path by Natala
Merlin leaves Camelot, to stop attracting magical danger to Arthur (among other things). 372 days later, Morgana leaves to find him and Mordred. Eventually Lancelot joins their little community - now only Arthur and Gwen are missing. But the group knows they must, eventually, return to Camelot - where a great mystery is about to be unravelled. What had protected their home, where Arthur had not been, would only be a shadow in comparison to the strength Merlin would put in to protecting Camelot. I like very much the bond created between the group away from Camelot. Especially how Lancelot became part of it. Loyalty is important to me. Also how feared Merlin is, when Arthur is threathened. Several good lines. Good ending, I like how things tied together.

Personal Property of the Court Magician by Phoenix G Fawkes
Arthur is king, with Merlin as his Court Magician. As the Court Magician Merlin doesn't hae time to work as Arthur's manservant as well. So another manservant is hired. Only, the new one seems much too interested in Arthur for Merlin's liking. One day Merlin walks in on the new servant giving Arthur a assage - and enough must be enough. And Merlin might’ve been the worst manservant ever in the history of Camelot (Arthur assured him that Geoffrey of Monmouth had stated so in his chronicles) but even he is aware that performing your duties with a hard-on, making no attempt whatsoever to conceal it, can’t be part of the proper protocol of royal service. Cute story with a nice dash of humor. I liked the end. Interesting take on the loss of Uther in the beginning. Nice description of Arthur with his hair in the sunlight.

Seven Magpies by syllic
Arthur is magicked into a different version of Camelot. One ruled by Queen Hunith and Prince Merlin. Here, Arthur is the man servant - thought things aren't even that simple. Now what will he do? Oh bloody hell, Arthur spared some panic to think, because what if in this Camelot, where Merlin was probably accustomed to getting whatever he wanted (as well he should be), what he wanted was Arthur? Interesting comparison story between the different possibilities. Also a nice read, any nice details to keep up the interest. Nice ending. The other Camelot would also have made an interesting show.

So Merlin Emrys, Here Is Your Holiday by crazyboutremmy
Merlin is reborn in modern time, for a holiday away from Avalon. As things were rather good for him and Arthur in Avalon, Merlin is not happy about this. Then he's made to go to the school he helped found, Hogwarts. Where a surprise waits. Needless to say, they weren't expecting to be called into Hogwarts by Albus Dumbledore to be told that Mrs Burton was carrying Merlin, father of Magic. A fun romp. Interesting idea and I wish I found more nice Merlin/HP crossovers. The idea just made me smile. Sweet story too, with Merlin and Arthur and their difficulties to be together due to their new ages. More would be fun. The second part was also cute.

The Crown Of The Summer Court by Astolat
The king of the elves is dead - and the elves want to use Camelot as an arena to find their new king. Camelot - as there lives the natural born son of the old king - the half-human Emrys, known as Merlin. Arthur volunteers as Merlin's champion (not knowing what this significates) and together they try to win the crown (not that Melin actually wants to be king). In the process Merlin must use his magic and this has an unexpected result. "And you'll be my king?" Arthur said, meaning to sound skeptical about it; but privately he felt a deep, possessive satisfaction in the thought: Merlin always by his side, in any kingdom, in any world and time. The first Merlin story I was recommended and still one of the best I've read, my favourite. Interesting plot, nice answer to the question of Merlin's father. Lots of great lines, nice humor, a little angst, hot sex with a hint of non-con (to start with). All in all a very enjoyable read. Good ending, nice twist. The mythology works well too.

The Route to Advancement by magog_83
Percy is a knight of Camelot - unfortunatelly, Arthur doesn't even remember his real name. In desperation, Percy turns to someone close to Arthur - Merlin. Merlin realises that something must be done. Percy had barely managed a tentative 'your highness?' before Merlin strode across to the bed, yanked the covers back and hissed "Arthur! Get up!" in tones reminiscent of Percy's Great Aunt Ethelberta. A warm, funny story. I like Percy and his interaction with Merlin and Arthur, his troubles at court and what goes on with his family. I especially enjoyed the Midnight Quest and the end. I like Arthur in this series too - and Merlin.

The Second Time Around by Eos Rose
Uther finds out of Merlin's magic - and has him executed. At the same time he dies, Myrddin is born. Five years old, Myrddin sees the new king of the land for the first time - and thinks he looks exactly the same. At age seven, Myrddin moves to Camelot - and comes home. Something in him reaches out - yearning, seeking, pleading-- and he exhales with an astonished whimper when something reaches back, beckoning and rich with promise. Awww! Lovely! Sad, of course, in a way, but oh so very sweet too! Moving story, well written. I think it works well on its own, but I certainly wouldn't mind more in this story. However, in my mind I can see a happy ending that makes me glad. Cute, a little humor too, nice ending, a good read.

The Student Prince by FayJay
Modern day AU. Merlin (named after the Arthurian wizard when his mother Hunith saw him do magic), gets a scholarship at the University of St. Andrews. He's thrilled to find that the crown prince of England, Arthur Pendragon, who he has had a crush on forever, also will go to St. Andrews. When he arrives, though, he's rather shocked to find out that the crown prince is his new roomie. And part of the scholarship is to guard Arthur from magical dangers. And he was still sitting there alone, staring miserably out to sea, red-eyed and snot-nosed, when the kraken showed up to try and comfort him. Long, highly enjoyable story. Interesting, with a genuine fell. I like the use of the dragon. Modern setting works well. Warm descriptions of the cast of characters. I like how Merlin's enormous powers are shown.

The Trouble With Being An Idiot by Allemande
When Merlin is greeted as the greatest warlock of our time, he might be flattered, but the timing isn't really the best, as Merlin's with Arthur and MErlin haven't yet told Arthur about his magic ... How will Arthur react and where will this leave them? “The greatest warlock of our time,” said Arthur, and there was something dangerous in his voice. Cute story that made me smile. Nice little hint of uncertainty in how Arthur will react. Good feeling later. Heh for the seven-legged dog (or fish).

Tread the Precipice by AshtakRa
Arthur is shot in the chest. Merlin performs magic to take his place. He survives - but not without consequences. First of all, the magic took place right in front of Uther, who will not tolerate magic even if it just saved his son's life. The magic also seems to have blended Arthur and Merlin's fates, giving Arthur some of Merlin's magic -and Merlin some of Arthur's ability to lead men. Now what? This time her laugh was higher, it echoed in the room and made something in Jarrod's chest tighten – he hoped it was the beginning of love and not a sense of impending doom. Interesting story with a fresh plot, well executed. Nice dash of humor too. Jarrod was a nice addition and I liked the subplot with him and the dragon. I like Morgana in this one. Interesting what happened to Gwen. Nice with the little inserts of gossip. I also liked seeing Lancelot. Possibly Merlin and Arthur used him a bit badly - but very hot and he didn't seem to mind too much.

Treason to Us by Janne_d
Arthur finds out about Merlin's magic - and he does not react well. He can't bring himself to turn Merlin in, but he no longer trusts Merlin. Merlin is devastated and Arthur's not happy either. "I won't ever leave willingly," Merlin went on in a desperate casual voice, "and if someone tries to make me, they'd better bring an army." I like the way the emotions are shown in this story. And the basic idea as well - even if we know Merlin, from Arthur's POV it does make a lot of sense to be suspicious in such a situation, at least initially. Several awww-moments, lovely angst and I like the ending.

Doctor Horrible Disclaimer and information Lovely show, I'm always amused when I watch it.

Bringing the Walls Down by entanglednow
The world is ending. Or something. Ghosts, creepies, demons. Luckily, the world does not only have two heroes on its side - it also has a super villain. The Winchester brothers team up with Dr Horrible (or, mostly, Billy) to save the world. In a crunch, Dr Horrible is rather good to have on your side. "I could build a nuclear bomb," Billy told them absently, over the edge of his burger. Awww ... Beautiful crossover. Works very well. Very nicely written too, very many good lines. I especially like Billy in this one, showing all his good sides - and his needy, shy, geeky sides among them. Also the brothers, though, in how they treat him. I love the help he gives them, eager to please and help. Nice threesome. I would love to read more in this universe - just the idea of the three of them maybe running into Captain Hammer or something really makes me happy. But the story in itself is very self-contained and works well, nothing missing per se. Well done.

Echoes In A Lonely World by etothepii
Captain Hammer messes up yet another of Doctor Horrible's plans. This time involving Empathy Goo. And both of them gets the goo on them. Soon they start to share sensations. Some unexpected truths are revealed. And how is that whole ELE thing working our for the Doctor anyway? If he really wants to change the world, he thinks, he's going to have to crush the ELE beneath his boots first. Nicely written, several good surprises to keep it interesting. Both guys well in character, yet showing more of themselves, well done. Cute detail of having to tell his doctor no one is abusing him - awww. Amusing, without getting silly. A few nice hints of angst. I liked the ending.

On The Practical Application of Rays by Gixi
In order to find a weakness of Captain Hammer, Dr Horrible build a Desire Ray. However, Captain Hammer's desire turns out to be something unexpected. What if, as was frighteningly likely, Hammer's greatest desire was himself? Funny, cute little story and I could well see this happening. Poor Doctor ... Well in character.

Playing With Personas by Lokifan
Both Captain Hammer and Dr Horrible has something that the other would like to try out. Billy closed his eyes, and reminded himself that Captain Hammer's sex noises were worth his whines whenever there wasn't enough evil in the world to keep him entertained. Cute story, it made me smile.

Shrink Rays by Corona
Captain Hammer messes up on of the Doctor's plans - again. this time they both end up shrunk to 3 inches. Which makes everything into an adventure and they have to rely on one another in a world of giants. Maybe this will also give both of them something to consider. Last week you cracked three of my ribs, I'm not going to let you kiss me again. I like the set-up, nice little (pardon the pun) adventure. Nicely in character, aww-worthy. Interesting backstory with the Captain "abandoned" by his mother. I liked the ending too.

Eastern Promises Disclaimer and information Strong movie, surprisingly moving.

Divided by Ribby
In his line of work, Nikolai has to be able to assume many faces - sometimes the different aspects of himself even feels differently about certain things - such as Kirill. Nikolai knows that someday, likely soon, Kirill would ask of him what Kolya could (and would gladly) do, but Nikolai could not ... and he would have to choose. Poignant story, very interesting. Normally I prefer long stories, but for the subject matter the length is very suitable (although I, of course, would have loved to read more). Nikolai does have a tough job and the mixed feelings are described here very well and believable. Well done.

	Leverage Disclaimer and information One of my favourite shows, really great. Eliot is my favourite character, sadly I can't really, truly see him with either Alec or Nate, so while I've read and liked some, I've never really dove into this fandom.

As You Wish by Telesilla
Alec tells Eliot his secret - he's not actually human. He's a genie and when Eliot asks for a wish, he gets his wish - or at least what he really wants. Elliot gave what he was sure was a pretty high pitched shriek, but he thought he could be forgiven seeing as he was suddenly stretched out and tied to a bed. Fun story. I would have loved a longer version of it too, but it works very well as it is. Interesting idea - and I do enjoy stories when a character turns out to be different from what he is seen on screen (as long as it is done believably, of course, but this story works for me). Very nice twist at the end.

Consultancy Arrangement by BlackEyedGirl
The stargate team borrows/recruites/kidnaps Alec, needing his tech skills. Only, he was working a job at the time - and Eliot does not take lightly to his man being taken. Under normal circumstances, Alec would object to the whole 'kidnapped by the military in the middle of the night' situation. Cute story! I really enjoyed the way Alec kept trying to warn them of Eliot coming. I really do have a weak spot for superman Eliot. Heh, and, of course, "out of harm's way" is "behind Eliot", that made me smile.

How To Seduce Your Geek by James
Alec gets a call from Eliot, in need of technical assistance. With a tube set and a VCR ... Later, he gets another call ... and starts to suspect things. Eliot just stood there, waiting for Alec to wind down, then he gestured towards the ancient television set and its enormous and equally ancient VCR. Cute, with this little "game" between them. And I really have a soft spot for Eliot cooking. Nice humor and I liked the ending.

I Lie, I Cheat, I Steal (And I Just Don't Get Any Respect) by fiercelydreamed
The Leverage Team kidnaps Neal of White Collar, as they need help with a job. Of course, Peter is on the trail - and he's got El with him. "... Except for Sterling," Alec hears himself say, and then winces and thinks, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Z as Nate turns to glare at him. Alec's POV is very amusing. Nice blend between the fandoms. Even blend too, much too often a crossover gets uneven, as one fandom is concentrated on, at the cost of the other, but this one felt very "fair" to both. Several nice lines, very amusing and a nice read. One of those stories I'd love to read more in, though it stands well on its own. Nice use of El. Crossover The Leverage/White Collar.

Loser/Leverage Xover Verse by emocezi
The Leverage team is relaxing at the pub, when someone suddenly grabs Elliot from behind. Not a good idea ... Not even if you are Jake Jensen of the Losers. You broke my nose and you won't give me apology cuddles. I love crossovers and just the idea of The Losers (my favorite movie) and Leverage (one of my favorite TV shows) had me smiling. The title promised - and the story delivered. I was a bit worried at first by the title that it would be Leverage-centric, at the cost of The Losers, as many crossovers tend to favor one fandom above the other, but this was very nice! Aww ... I can so vividly see what happens, it "works", poor Jensen ... Both well in character, I smiled through most of the story, good ending too. Great.

Parker's Surprise by Zvi
Parker tells Alec that she doesn't want to have sex with him, as she doesn't like having things inserted in her body. Well, Alec understands - neither does he. Luckily, Parker knows that Eliot does. Instead he says, with a great deal of complete fake calm, "Does Eliot have sex with men?" I could see the whole conversation very well - and especially Parker is very believable. I like Alec's reaction to Parker's revelation a lot. Nice ending as well.

The Way To A Man's Heart by merle_p
Five scenes in which Eliot and Alec gets closer, all involving Eliot cooking for Alec (or at least Alec eating what Eliot has made). Are you trying to tell me that you are too macho to make a cake? I love that Eliot cooks, I only wish they'd use it more in the show. When it is used in stories it also makes me happy. This story uses it very well in each scene, binding the parts together without being too obvious about it. I like Eliot's breaking-in-and-cooking. Overall the story was amusing to read, nice humor (without being too much), it really works welll. Well done.

Working Without A Net by faceofcathy
Parker and Eliot keeps showing up in Alec's apartment. Parker leaves, but one night Eliot stays, at least for a bit. The third time, Elito had stood up and, instead of leaving, knelt between Alec's wide-spread legs and said, "You pull the hair, I'll bite it off." Nicely written. Hot, yet with humor. Both well in character. A smooth, nice read. I like the details of Alec's place too. And a good ending.

	Supernatural Disclaimer and information Fun show, nice to watch, sometimes I'm not really happy with what happens, but amusement. I haven't really hunted for stories in the fandom, but have been recommended a few good ones.

Bringing the Walls Down by entanglednow
The world is ending. Or something. Ghosts, creepies, demons. Luckily, the world does not only have two heroes on its side - it also has a super villain. The Winchester brothers team up with Dr Horrible (or, mostly, Billy) to save the world. In a crunch, Dr Horrible is rather good to have on your side.

I love the help he gives them, eager to please and help. Nice threesome. I would love to read more in this universe - just the idea of the three of them maybe running into Captain Hammer or something really makes me happy. But the story in itself is very self-contained and works well, nothing missing per se. Well done.

Kings and Queens and Jokers, too by astolat
Sam and Dean finally kills the Joker and all is well. Apart from the strange looks and comments they're getting. Which they don't understand until a visit to Bobby reveals the truth: they've been behaving like newly weds the entire time. Maybe that Joker wasn't as dead as they thought ... So apparently what'd been missing from their lives was incest, and Dean really hadn't needed to know that, especially when in six days, fourteen hours, and twenty-three minutes, they were going to get rid of the damn curse and it was going to go missing again. Humorous, yet with a plot underneath. A nice, fun read and I like the ending. Nice little angst in there too.

Leader of the Pack by Astolat
Dean's time is up and the demon comes to claim him. Only Sam think he has a claim too, even if he has to use dark powers to press the matter. In the process Dean and Sam acquires six pets in the form of Hellhounds. Dean doesn't realise this, however, until he makes a new deal and things get complicated. Sam's hands uncurled, and he swung his leg out, moving stiff and slow as an old man, but when he set his foot down on the ground, it was like the whole sky got darker, and the earth trembled a little—not like a quake, just cringing away. Enjoyable story. I always like a hint of dark Sam or at least powerful Sam and this was very nice. I love the Hell Hounds and the clever use of them. I like the action sequences in the story, the hints of angst and the interesting sex scene. Good use of Bela. Nice ending. One of those stories I would like to read more in the same universe.

More Than Meets The Eye by astolat
Dean and Sam gets into a different fight than their usual one - one involving machines. Giant robots able to transform into cars and the like. Something strange, yet wonderful, happens to the Impala. The engine coughed twice, made one long rumbling, throat-clearing noise, and then the car said, "It's all right, Dean, I'm fine." Awww. Cute. Neat idea overall. Interesting way of getting the boys together too, made me smile.

Old Country by Astolat
Sam and Dean are contacted by a lawyer. A relative of theirs has died and the next in line to inherit is Dean (he's the new Lord Taversham). Only the contact is made by way of owl ... And things get stranger and stranger from there, until they find themselves in England and in need of a magical degree. So, they go to Hogwarts. Well, Dean isn't all that keen, but Sam needs the knowledge, because the crossroad demon still has a claim on Dean's soul - and the clock is ticking. He didn't really believe in it, that somebody could love him like that, not even with the bruises to show for it; but he'd believed it last night, for a little while. Interesting plot, well executed. I really enjoyed the parts with Dean and the Goblins, also Dean with his Hufflepuffs, lots of good-feelings there. The Sam/Dean part is hot, with angst, obsession, maybe even (at least at to start) a hint on non-con. Slightly uneven as a crossover, as it favors Supernatural clearly, but as I do agree with that Hogwart school system is not very fair sometimes, I did enjoy that too.

Road to Shambala by Astolat
Sam and Dean gets a a bit tipsy. When they wake up the next morning they realise they've had sex. They push it aside, but other emotions also runs high and eventually things must come to a head. He sounded so goddamn desperate, so goddamn broken, that by the time he was pushing Dean back down into the pillows again, Dean was just grateful for a way to make him stop talking, for a way to make it better, and he opened his mouth and tightened his hands into Sam's hair and let Sam have anything he wanted, everything he wanted, everything Dean had to give. Lovely angst, several great quotes. Complex story as it plays on different emotions, but well done. I like the way Dean wants to keep Sam, yet knowing he "should" let him go - and Sam having similar thoughts in reverse. I do like when Sam has powers, also protective Dean, yet Sam being the aggressor in their relationship. So, overall, nicely written story, works well for me.

Sumer Is Icumen by Astolat
A curse and a lengthy stay at a hospital afterwards, Sam and Dean are given a shocking truth. Sam is not blood-related to the Winchesters. He's likely some type of changeling. Either that or he's the reason the yellow-eyed demon targeted the Winchesters and destroyed Dean's life. Now what? Sam kept looking over at him, quick desperate glances not long enough to turn into a request, waiting for Dean to break the silence like a prisoner waiting for his sentence. Lovely angst and a very interesting story premise. Sam's reaction of letting Dean do whatever he wants as he feels he owes him really spoke to me. Lovely resolve in the end, very logical and works very well.

Under Hill by Astolat
Faeries steal Sam and Dean's memory of who they are. Based on that they share a one-bed hotel room, they draw the wrong conclusion of their relationship. Then the faeries offer them a deal on how to get their memories back. Sick and fucked and wrong, and more right than anything he'd ever had in his life, and he was never going to be able to have it again. Nicely built story, classic pattern, well executed. Amusing in parts, very hot in others. Nice hints of angst and a good ending.

	Primeval Disclaimer and information I don't like shows that too easily kill off characters, so I nearly dropped this one fairly early. But Hilary is one of my overall favourite characters, he's just so cool. Sadly, few good stories with him. Another fandom I plan on checking up on again, whenever I have some time (sigh ...).

A Highland Wolf by Joe Reaves
Stephan is investigating rumours about wolves in the Scottish highlands. When he gets there, however they're not wolves - they're werewolves - and they already considers him pack, as they are Nick's family. He didn't know what Nick wanted but he felt like there was something happening that would shatter if he spoke too loudly. Interesting idea, well executed. I especially liked how Stephen were invested in wolves even before learning the truth, the nearly surreal scene with the cubs and also how Nick dislike Helen's smell on Stephen (and how Helen was never told). Hot sex scenes too, graphic yet not in a "too much" way. One of those stories one wants to read more of.

Blade One Liners by Joe Reaves
Various subjects, centering around an OMC in relation with James Lester. "You remember how you said just once you'd like an anomaly that spat out prehistoric bunny rabbits?" Blade asked over the radio, staring fixedly at the anomaly, mesmerised by the seemingly endless pack of furballs hopping through it. Several nice ones, interesting to have the lines center around an OMC. It works very well and he seems like a nice person. Some hot ones, some funny, a nice read. I especially liked 4, 8, 10, 18, 26 and 35.

Blindfolded by Joe Reaves
For Christmas Connor gets Ryan, naked, blindfolded and with his arms over his head, holding onto the door frame. He likes his present. He knew the other man liked it rough sometimes but he'd never had the nerve to give him what he was asking for before. Hot, at the same time as intimate. A rather tender story for a little kink. Nice pairing and the story made me smile.

Fairground Attraction by Alyse
Ryan and Connor gets caught by a dinosaur at a fairground. A wounded Ryan is forced to rely on Connor's sharp wit to save them. "I can't just shove my hands down your pants." Sweet, short story that made me smile several times. The story works well and leaves a good taste for more.

Healthy Competition by Fides
Hilary and Danny have a history of challenging one another in different types of competitions -as so far as Lester allows. One day they make a bet on who can last longer when they masturbate. Sneaking a look at Becker was definitely a mistake - the man was too damn pretty for a soldier-boy, especially when his cheeks were flushed with arousal and his hair was mussed. I like the idea of them competing for various things. Hot scene with natural development. Interesting pairing too. I like this a lot.

James Lester Sentences by Joe Reaves
Various subjects, pairings and so on. Love, Sir James Lester reflected, was letting your boyfriend get mud all over the seats of your brand new Mercedes and not complaining. Several nice sentences, ranging from hot to sweet to funny. Well done! I especially like 1, 9, 14, 16, 24, 27, 39 and 70.

	White Collar Disclaimer and information Pretty show that I enjoy watching. I like Elizabeth, which makes it a bit difficult, because while I have found a few good fics, fics with women in it really isn't what I like overall. Oh well, still a nice show.

Prison 'verse by arsenicarcher (Arsenic) and hoosierbitch added 141001
When Clint's brother kills someone, Clint took the fall. He got sent to prison - or Hell. He's routinely abused - in a very bad way. He's nearly feral and broken, when Neal Caffrey comes to the prison Neal obtains Clint's loyalty, but during his loyalty to Neal, Clint gets severly injured, basically cripped. When Clint finally is release he can find no work or a future - until Peter Burke puts him in contact with an old friend of his - Phil Coulson. But even if Coulson might be able to help him with his physical damage, Clint's still scarred from what happened - and he doesn't know in which way Coulson will want his payment. Really, as protectors go, one Agent Phil Coulson is a pretty sweet deal. Normally I don't like darker stories much, but on rare occasion prison fics are a weakness of mine - plus that the crossover sounded like a lovely idea. And the story is dark, yes, very much so, but it's dark in a way that really makes the pyaoff beautiful. Strong and tear-worthy, with lovely angst and nice emotions. Vivid images. I underline interesting information when I reread a story to rec it - I was up to well over 200 in this one, among the highest ever for me. Nice White collar story too, soemthing I find too little of. Good image of Neal and I think Clint's right tha tNeal could be very, very dangerous. Aww for Neal trying to take care of Clint and Clint' sinterpretations. I would love to read more in this universe. Aww for the ice cream. Nice rawness without getting too dark - it perhaps "should be" (for me, that is), but it worked. For some reason I really liked Peter's interactions with Clint - not to mention the lovely visit by Elizabeth, Clint was so cute with her. Good use of White Collar canon. Poor, pooor Clint, but so good with Coulson later on. Cute with Clint wanting to correct spelling and grammar on signs. Yay for SHIELD's unconventional surgical opotions - cool with the tech in his hands. I liked the other Avengers too. Awww for Clint reacting badly for waking up on Steve. Aww also for the way Clint tries to take care of Coulson. Clint and Steve were also very cute together with Steve being "safe". Great idea about Clint's neck tattoo. Aww for Clint telling Neal that Coulson hadn't been using him to relieve his stress. Sweet with Clint's care package to Peter and trying to help him. Heh for Tony and Clint as partners in crime.

Taking Liberties by astolat added 130307
Peter was behind it all. Neal going to prison; Kate's behavior: everything. How will Neal ract when he finds out - and what is Peter's end game? Not to mention: what will Elizabeth say? "You think Elizabeth would leave me behind in trouble, if I gave her a plane ticket and told her to run?" When the series hinted at PEter being behind it, that was a wow-moment for me. This was nicely done and well handled. I like the comparison between Kate and Elizabeth (ie: no comparison ...). Heh for Neal blurting out the truth as soon as they meet Elizabeth.

Ask Me No Questions by Ursula
Ruiz tries to blackmail Neal into having sex with him, threathening to reveal that Neal is in a relationship with El and Peter. Neal isn't in a relationship with them - yet - but he is prepared to do quite a lot to protect them. Jones was trying his best to get Peter off Ruiz, but Peter was about ten feet tall and maybe his skin was green because no one would like him when he was this angry. I enjoy stories with self-sacrifice and angst. Interesting backstory with Ruiz. Good use of Jones, that I really liked. Good ending.

Broken Road by hoosierbitch
Neal is not used to get anything for nothing. While Peter thinks that he and Neal has a relationship, Neal just does what he thinks he must do, to keep out of prison. But when Peter realises what has happened and leaves Neal alone, Neal isn't as relieved as he thought he would be. And Neal looks at him and knows that if they hurt him, Moz will break their knees, ruin their finances, steal their dog, buy up the mortage on their house, and then yank Neal out of the country, anklet be damned. Massive misunderstanding and angst, with resolve and a nice, hopeful ending. Very nice. Some dark stuff, but not too much as to distract from the story. Nice use of El and I like that she isn't sexually involved with Neal too, at least not explicitly. And awww for what Neal thinks Moz will do.

I Lie, I Cheat, I Steal (And I Just Don't Get Any Respect) by fiercelydreamed
The Leverage Team kidnaps Neal of White Collar, as they need help with a job. Of course, Peter is on the trail - and he's got El with him. "... Except for Sterling," Alec hears himself say, and then winces and thinks, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Z as Nate turns to glare at him. Alec's POV is very amusing. Nice blend between the fandoms. Even blend too, much too often a crossover gets uneven, as one fandom is concentrated on, at the cost of the other, but this one felt very "fair" to both. Several nice lines, very amusing and a nice read. One of those stories I'd love to read more in, though it stands well on its own. Nice use of El.

I Thought I Was Someone Else by Hoosierbitch
After a BDSM scene Peter leaves, not realising that Neal needs a bit of care afterwards. Neal thinks he's done something wrong. Neal knew he was the kind of man people wanted to spend the night with, but Elizabeth was the kind of woman they wanted to wake up next to. I'm not really into kinks of the BDSM type, but I really like this type of misunderstandings and angst and I really found this story enjoyable. Mostly Neal/Peter, though El is aware of what happened and approves.

Kohl And Silk by scatterglory
Neal finds the sight of Peter and El sleeping together irresistable - and reaches for anything he can draw with. Resisting his first impulse - to jump up, find their beautiful, still painfully insecure lover, and lead him back in to the warm safety of their bed - he carefully laid El to the side and sat up. I like the hint of insecurity on Neal's part; the warmth from El and Peter and Neal's nearly primal urge to draw. Well in character and a good read.

Life Imitating Art by glacis
Neal sketches - and his favorite subject is Peter. Often he draws fantasies of him and Peter together, sexually. And then one day, after Peter and El visits him, his sketchbook is gone. He always had been one to weave real life into his fantasies, another trick of the trade for no lie sold as well as one that held a kernel of truth. Weavest together the art well with the story, a hint of angst, hot sex, even a hint of humor. Nice read and well written.

Such Gifts by Ursula
El borrows Neal to go shopping, when they are attacked by a man who later turns out to be a serial killer. They get out but afterwards things change - to the better Neal has sunken into him, down to the dark recesses of his brain, to his animal brain that was tempted to bite into that neck that sometimes bent enticingly in front of him and maybe mount him to show his dominance. Sweet. Nice use of both El and Neal to deal with the bad guy. Refreshing. And Satchmo, of course.Nice story flow, nice emotions, hints of humor.

The Usual Suspects Disclaimer and information For a long while my favourite movie and I still love it though I must have seen it ten times. Just ... yes, brilliant. Sadly, few good fics, I'd love to find more.

The Proposition by QDS
Keaton don't want Verbal along for the job with New York finest. When he refuses him, however, Verbal shows him his other side - Keaton is in for quite a surprise. Well, now he'd been quite literally fucked over by Keyzer fucking Suze. Deliciously hot. Normally I stay away from most non-con/rape stories, but in a pairing such as this, and when it is more of a power trip thing, it really works. Many great lines and while it is AU I can really see something like this from the movie. I find all too few The Usual Suspects stories and this really good one is a treat. AU.

The Take by Te
They meet very unexpectedly - and fit very well ... I just sorta replayed everything he said at 16 RPM instead of his perpetual 78. My second favorite movie - and next to no fic I've found ... This one is by a good author, too . So, while I was a bit sceptic regarding the pairing, I had to read it. And I liked it. Raw sexuality, nicely done. I seldom like this type of stories, but this one is very nice.

Teen Wolf Disclaimer and information Rather amusing show.

TEEN WOLF (season 1) no image

Changes by bev_crusher1971 added 140317
After the Nogitsune Sheriff Stilinski finally has a chance to relax - and nearly has a nervous breakdown. Strength comes to him from an unexpected source - Chris Argent. And suddenly he realized that the young man would never be safer, never be more protected than here, surrounded by this weird mix of werewolves, hunters, a kitsune, a banshee, and a Sheriff. The sheer amount of Teen wolf fic out there scares me from reading plenty in it, but lately I've been saying I would like some nice Chris Argent/Sheriff Stilinski with a side of Derek/Stiles, but I haven't had the time. But when I've got the subscriptionnote with this story I thought it sounded like something I would like - and I did. Very sweet, warm and a nice dash of humor and several good sentences. Heh for Stiles' reaction to finding his father and Christ Argent together.

Important Things by suzvoy added 130306
For some reason everyone keeps assuming that Derek and Stiles are a couple. And when Scott tell Stiles that he can smell lust coming off both Derek and Stiles - for one another, Stiles starts thinking that perhaps it wouldn't be such a bad idea. Stiles was the only one that Derek tossed around like a rag doll, and while to most regular people it'd probably just looked like a really unhealthy relationship, it was the werewolf equivalent of pulling pigtails. Stiles in good form. Several good lines, a smooth, nice, interesting read. I like Stiles' father in this one. Nice adventure with the kanima mixed in. Good feeling. Nice little humor too. Good voice for Stiles. Cute with Derek making Isaac for Stiles.

Ain't Nothing But Mammals by chase_acow
Stiles finds out that werewolves mate for life - and that Derek is thus a virgin. That interests him a lot. Whatever it was, that feeling deep in the pit of Stiles stomach wasn't rejection and it definetely wasn't longing. Interesting idea of what mate for life means and Derek not quite knowing the parameters. Stiles well in character. I liked him blabbing out loud everything on his mind, very cute.

Art of Being Human by Rowan
Stiles realises that Derek's very lonely and tries to get to know him better. Slowly they fall for one another. But they have obstacles to face - like Derek. And Stile's father. Other werewolves. And plenty of other things. Why did Mrs Wrangler just call to tell me that she saw a strange man climb into your bedroom window? Good doses of lovely angst, which I like. Also several parts with good humor. I like Stiles father in this one and the slightly vulnerable side of Derek. I especially liked when Derek pleaded with John about Stiles being good for him and asking why they can't be friends - very powerful. Cute scene with Derek cooking breakfast. The garden was another sweet touch. and the gay club (with Derek's reaction to it), though poor Derek when John found them.

Drive carefully by chase_acow
Derek finds Scott, Allison and Stiles on the road. Allison and Stiles have been drugged. Derek helps a grabby Stiles home - and is caught by Stiles' father, who makes him stay the night, until he can get the full story out of Stiles. Derek tried not to flinch at the vulnerable position, but he was fairly sure that Stiles wouldn't rip out his jugular vein. I like how Derek's bleak outset is brightened. Also his jaelousy and the angst when he thinks Stiles was thinking about Danny. Nicely in character. I like the sheriff in this one, and Derek's reaction to him.

His Only Defence by LunaCanisLupus_22
Werewolves live openly among humans. Stiles are aware of that Alpha Hale is returning to town. Only he's a bit caught up with something else and forgets. So, being Stiles, he ends up accidentally challenging the alpha - and offering himself as the alpha's mate. But maybe to be werewolf married to Derek Hale won't be so bad? "You are my greatest achievement and I would kill thousands of people in a past life if that's what it takes to have you as my son in this one." Nicely written story. A large number of nice lines. When I like a story and think of adding it to my rec page I put it aside for a bit and then reread on my kindle to see if I still like it, marking nice lines as I go along, so that I can easily go over them later and pick out my favourite quote. This story had over a hundred marks when I was done. Stiles well in character. Interesting AU, one or two minor details I didn't quite get, but still an enjoyable, fun read.

How Stiles gets cockblocked by the universe by peet4paint
Derek goes into heat - and goes directly to Stiles, intent on mating with him. Stiles is not adverse, but then he lets slip that he's still a virgin - and Derek backs off. Stiles doesn't give up, though, not even when people hints that there might be something wrong with Derek's cock. "Stiles," Derek says, voice harsh, "if you don't fuck me right now, I'm walking out, getting in my car, and driving to Danny's." Sweet story, it made me smile. Nice solution to the problem with Derek's cock. Hot too. Stiles well in character. I liked Stiles father in this one. And how Stiles, despite after having been told that he can't ask a question, still asks it. And how Derek and Stiles apparently have been dating for months, without even knowing it. And Stiles reactions to some of the "warnings" - very cute.

Mayor Awesome by starbeast
Derek lets Stiles fuck him. Stiles thinks this is awesome. Derek likes it a lot too. Try, 'the most icredbily awesome thing to ever awesome in Awesome town, where Stiles was Mayor awesome and declared everything he touched numero awesome. Cute story, hot PWP. I'm usually not that much for PWPs, but this pairing and this setting worked very well. Both well in character. Nice dash of humor too.

Open the Door by Renay
Derek finds Stiles and Scott training in the forest -and gives a freezing Stiles his leather jacket to keep warm. Stiles is starting to realise how attracted he is to Derek, but is convinced that his feelings are one-sided. Are they? Oh, and elves. He kisses Stiles like this is the first and only time he'll get to: greedy and demanding and forceful; like he thinks Stiles is going to say no. Sweet story, everyone nicely in character. I especially liked Stile's father in this story. Cute with Scott worrying if Derek is doing anything against Stiles' will. Warmly written.

Say Something by onrooftops
Sometimes Derek will appear in Stiles' room - and go to sleep in his bed. At first, Stiles isn't sure what to think about the nocturnal visits, but gradually he starts to think that he might like them. Where, however, will they go? "Stiles?" his dad says again, and the doorknob is turning and there is a very manly leg tucked between Stile's, the angles of a very familiar ankle between his and dried blood everywhere and his father cannot see this. Cute story. Several good lines. Sweet idea of Derek seeking out Stiles' room to sleep - and Stiles also being able to sleep when he's there. Kind of cute that Derek seems a bit worried when Scott finds out, how he reacts. And his insistance of belonging to Stiles. I really liked Stiles' father in this.

	Person of Interest Disclaimer and information My favourite television show and I truly love these guys. Who can resist the Finch (Reese certainly can't)? Great show with lovely arches, beautiful tension and always keeps me guessing while leaving me satisfied in the end.

The Unexpected Wedding by LadyRa added 141121
Reese is hiding, undercover as a dojo owner. One day one of his students brings him a magazine - with a wedding announcement. Apparently Reese's getting married - to Finch. Will Finch be there when Reese ges there? And just who put the ad in? And then John was surging to his feet and grabbing Harold, trying to be careful of his injuries, but mostly just needing to have contact, as much as he could have, as if he were a desiccated sponge and Harold was the water that could make him alive and useful again. Sweet story that made me smile. Visual too and I'd love to have seen that on screen. Cute with Reese taking a bird name, awww ... - and him taking "Bunting" as evidence. I also liked Reese using skills learned from watching Finch. Good touch with the manipulated images. Interesting with the prospect of that he could have missed ads - several such, in fact. Several good lines, especially for such a short fic.

The Machine's Coffee is the Best in Town by waterbird13 added 141001
Reese works at The Machine, a coffee shop One of his favorite customers is Harold, a quiet, well-dressed man who comes in regularly but seems slightly paranoid of anyone learning his habits. Then one day a couple of robbers tries to rob the place. Reese saves the day, but he learns something unexpected about Harold ... He can’t believe it took near-death to learn the man’s last name. Marked as complete, but feels a bit unfinished. Normally I don't like AUs that much, but this had a good feeling. Nice dash of humor.

The Oracle of Birds by RyuuzaKochou added 140618
Sentinels and guides are out and protecting the civilians. The guides dont' have a choice and the sentinels are all found when young. Reese wasn't, though, but was taken for work in the military. He hides in New York, when he meets a spirit animal. A tiny one. A bird. A finch ... “So...this isn’t yours?” he asked with mock-coyness, as the little broken winged spectral bird uncurled in his palm. Sadly a WIP. Promising set-up and a nice handling of the charactes, but not updated in a while now. Interesting details about the events of September 11th, both during and after. Good choice of spirit animals and also good use of canon in an AU setting. Aww for Finch calling his spirit animal a bird brain and comparing Reese taking out criminals to dead-birds-on-the-doorstep affection.

Dangerous If Unbound by Astolat added 140612
Some people are dominants, able to control other people. Some people are submissive, easily controlled by the dominant, but more: they enjoy being dominated. It's not the traditional sexual dom/sub-situation, but something people are born to. Reese is submissive - but he's incredibly strong for a submissive, able to pull thoughts from dominants and he haven't yet met a dominant strong enough to push (dominate) him. He used to work fo the military, now he's in the wind, caught as Dangerous If Unbound, about to be sold to the camps and die - when he's found by Nathan Ingram, who takes him to New York and an unassuming man, Harold, who had powers beyond any Reese has ever encountered. His face was rigid, but John could feel how much Harold wanted to, how badly Harold wanted to — wanted to reach out and close his fingers gently around John's wrist and say yes, you're mine, just that simply. Lovely universe, very inventive and interesting. Great description of Reese' feelings on Harold's power. Beautiful, how Reese wants to belong to him. Aww for him thinking Harold might have noticed the color of his eyes. Several good lines and descriptions. Good use of Nathan. I really liked Harold being so powerful. Aww also for the "courtship dinner". Good dash of angst. Interesting applications of the pushes and pulls.

A Really Private Person by Astolat added 140604
Finch and Reese gets a very strange number. It turns out it is linked not to a human, but to a natural disaster of apocalyptic proportions. A comet is coming. It will hit the Earth, and now they must help stop it. They alert the authorities, of course - but this is not enough. Finally, they have no chocie: the world needs them. No one but Fiinch can help the Machine rescue the world. But even if he succeeds, what will happen to them afterwards? "I've yielded in many respects to what can only be called your mania for weaponry, Mr. Reese," Harold said, "but I draw the line at nuclear weapons." Nicely written, great plot and a really nice conclusion. Now this is a movie I'd love to see. Good angst. Part of me do want them to have the recognition they deserve and this was lovely. Yay for Finch being forceful and taking command. The whole Ingram's genie was brilliant, great detail. Nice also how information spread over the net about what happened, very believable, but also interesting. Very easily visualised story. Good detail also with the percentages. The addition of Mick Ryan was one I really liekd too, not quite sure why, but I liked him. Good drama.

The Proper Place by Vesta added 140311
Finch's away from the library. Reese takes the opportunity to sit in Finch's chair - and fantasize. He masturbates while fantasising, about taking his proper place - on his knees before the chair - before Finch. Will he ever get there? But he figured that Harold would like to see him pleasure himself, directing him, and Reese needed to be on his knees for that. Naughty Reese -but it worked out well in the end. Good emotion. I was a bit worried when first reading it, that it would be just a masturbation story. That would have been okay too - I do like the idea of Reese getting off on pleasing FInch - but it would have been a bit paler. A sit was I liked this end well. The really "accidental masturbation" amused me.

Walking in the Dark by tiranog added 140110
Reese wants to learn more about Finch, but he does not want to scare him. So instead he invites him to a Mets game. They drift closer. When Reese realises that Finch wants him, he's happy to give - only Finch can't believe Reese's serious. Can Reese convince him? "It isn't any more of a stretch than me believing that the most decent, gentlest man I've ever met would be turned on by a cold blooded killer." The story has a good feel with nice emotion and good angst. Several good comments. Nice contrast to Reese's past with Stanton and Snow. Heh for Finch telling Reese not to berate himself in Finch's presence. Well n character. A bit aww-worthy with the Monster-references. And for Finch getting scared when he thinks Reese will react badly to Finch's desire. And the "I'd die for you"-thing. Very sweet sequel as well, good angst. Several good lines. I like when Reese is so eager to please Finch.

A Christmas Gift by hellvetica added 140108
Dr Farooq is alwyas grateful to Mr Wren and his tall, husky-voiced companion for giving him the chance to practice medecin again. One day he gets a surprise visit from his first patient in America, who has a very important, intimate question to Dr Farooq regarding Mr Wren. Heaven help Mr. Wren if the departing man’s attentions were not welcome, but then again, Mr. Wren had spent a fortune keeping this man alive so odds were favorable that his attentions would be more than welcome. Cute story that made me smile. Very sweet. Nice to see them from another POV and oh so sweet with Reese being nervous about his question. Nice description of Reese's voice.

Conflict of Interest by managerie added 140102
Finch and Reese gets a new number - ot David Starsky. Starsky is now a police captain in Brooklyn. His lifepartner, Ken Hutchinson, is a NY city councilman. Reese goes undercover as a transfer police to Starsky's station, while Finch gets them a house opposite to Starsky & Hutch's and joins Hutch's gym class. Who is threathening Starsky and why doesn't the person seem aware of that Skarsky & Hutch have been a couple for decades now? If I only got you for a few months, it was more than I’d ever dreamed I would be allowed. Enjoyable crossover that treats both fandoms very well. Also an interesting case that works. Good emotion in both pairs. I seldom comment on the sex parts of a story aprt from 'hot', but I found even the sex well written and with good details. The slow awakening of Finch was interesteing and I liked Reese's obvious devotion to him. Many good lines and vivid images. Nice little misunderstanding about Reese's attitude to disabilities. Aww, John's masturbation fantasy of being welcomed home to Finch's house is so sweet! Cute with Fusco knowing of Starsky/him being a legend. Nice touch with the "Starsky's wife" thing. And I really liked the friendship described between Finch and Nathan, very warm and sweet. Nice dashes of angst. Cute with Bear. Nice end. Yay for the Machine assisting. Heh for Finch kneecapping the guy. One of my favourite parts was Starsky telling Reese that if Hutch wanted him dead he'd rather be dead, so good!

Be Careful What You Wish For by KaticaLocke added 131227
AU in which Finch has had no luck in finding a partner to help him save the numbers. Then he visits an antique dealer and ends up buying a lamp. When he polishes it, a genie appears. Finch is given three wishes, that he uses for the numbers. After the first three, though, more can be bought - however, the price is not money, it's sex. Not unpleasant, but Finch does not like trading sex. But is that really what the genie wants? "Yes, Master Finch," he says, a bit louder than necessary, in my opinion, but this is New York -- we could be murdering each other in the street and no one would pay any attention. Interesting. I like the set-up. Sadly WIP. Inspiring, I liked especially Finch's alternate explanations for Reese's appearance and also Reese's changing view of the sex he wants and Finch's opinion.

A disposition to be generous or helpful; goodwill by astolat added 131106
Root tries to kidnap Grace, but has to run before Reese rushes in, though not before revealing that Harold is alive. Reese has to take her to Harold. Grace wants Harold again, but thinks he's with Reese - and it is reveled that while the men are not together, Reese wants nothing else. Can the situation be resolved? Improbably, after all of that, John still doesn't believe it, although at that point he's actually had the thing he wants: she realizes that now he doesn't believe he's going to get to have it ever again. Grace is shown as very astute and I really like the feeling between her and Harold, how well they communicate. Normally I avoid threesomes and het-fic, but this was lovely. Of course I'm a sucker for stories in which Reese is pining or angsting and thinks him unworthy or just has such intense feelings for Finch, so that worked really well for me too. I'd like to read more in this universe. Sweet with John being so eagerly useful and that this calms him. Aww for Reese desperate for Finch's kisses - and if he thought Grace taunted him, poor man. One of the sweetest parts, for some reason, I found Grace stroking Reese's head and the description there.

A temporary immunity or exemption; a reprieve by astolat added 131106
Reese tells Grace that Harold is alive, hoping that Grace will demand that Harold leaves with her and that Harold will be safe. But Grace has a big surprise for him. And how will Harold react? And he was still scared; he was still as scared as he'd ever been in his entire life, but he clung to Harold anyway and kissed him back at last, known, knowing. I really liked this Grace. While she still seems uncomplicated (my impression of her in the show), she is practical and I like her. Poor John - though lucky John too. I also really liked the depth of feelings John showed. Sweet end. Very typical Harold thing to do to deal wtih everything for Grace, I could see him try to arrange things.

Knowing by astolat added 131105
Maybe Finch doesn't know everything about Reese after all. Maybe Reese needs him to. "John," he said, and there was a new note in his voice now, one John had never heard before, low and tender; John hoarded it up jealously. Sweet story with a nice twist and a good choice of words. Nice hint of angst, even.

Man With A Mission by Draycevixen added 131021
Reese needs to find out more about Finch. As he doesn't want to torture him or drug him (he does need his job, after all) he seduces him. Finch knows, though, and later Reese regrets himself more and more. Will Finch ever trust Reese after what he did? The painting stopped just above his hips but he knew it was how he would have looked to Harold while he was riding his cock. Lovely angst. Early days, yes, but nicely done and I liked getting back to them. Reese trying to find out more about Finch are some of my favourite parts of the show. Aww for normally so focused Reese wavering on his mission objective. Hot sex too. Aww for Reese getting jealous! I think I'd like to read more stories with that than we have currently. Lovely little cliffhanger in part two and a lovely solution in part three. Good boy, Reese. Cute with the whole Priapism thing and Reese being guilty for a thing like that. Finch's painting sounds very beautiful.

Partnership by The_Blue_Fenix added 131021
Reese gets ill. While Finch takes care of him, Finch's attraction to Reese is revealed. Reese is willing to let Finch have him, but Finch isn't interested in having sex with someone who would barely endure him. Especially after he realises that Reese had very bad experiences in the past. But maybe Reese wouldn't be as reluctant as Finch imagines ... The first time Harold's deft hands drifted below his waist, Reese felt ice flow through his veins. Some darkness, but some really good angst and emotion. Also an highly interesting, thoughtworthy case with Dr Robinson; a good read in itself. Several good lines. Nice dash of humor too. Heh to Reese comparing Finch's offer of chess as if he'd offered to armwrestle Finch. Also Reese being "inconsiderately blurry" when Finch is ill. For some reason Reese into even knowing Finch's doctor resonated with me - poor man. Aww for Finch counting pi to sleep, nice touch. I liked Doborah. She's a strong, capable woman. At first I worried she'd become a Mary Sue, but she worked very well and I found her interesting. Good voice, especially for Reese in this one. I would like to read more on the Reese/Finch relationship (mostly because I'm greedy, it works well as it is). Nice handling on on the difficult parts and I like the angst. Good science. Normally I like a more dominant Finch, but possibly due to that I often get very nice dominant Finch stories I found it oddly sweet with a more submissive Finch when Reese needs him to be. I really liked Finch buying Reese building, that's just so him. Aww for the paladin heart - really good line.

Well Dressed Monsters by killalla added 131015
To save humanity, the organisations summons monsters from out of space time, binds them in human form and make them fight on our behaf. But when the geas runs out, they need something more to bind them. The watcher with a thousand eyes, the listener with a million ears - they bound him with a partner, an anchor, a willing sacrifice. The two visits the Laundry in England. And then all we can really do is pray (in a secular, humanist fashion) that we’ve given them enough of a reason to stay and to fight with us until the stars go cold and we reach the end of all things. Crossovers to fandoms I'm completely unfamiliar with is always tricky: do I wait until I've seen the movie/watched the show/read the book or do I read it more or less like an original characters story. If I've heard of the fandom, then I tend to wait. As I hadn't, in this case I read it as it is, since I love Person of Interest so much and just need to read more stories. I liked it a lot and I have now just bought the first book in the Laundry series. I look forward to seeing how the author of the fic has captures the other fandom. The Person of Interest part is lovely, a hint of chilling, very fitting and I'd love to read more in this universe. Heh for the nicknames, especially Sauron, but I liked Angmar too. Inspiring fic.

I'll Pretend My Heart's Not On Fire If You Steal My True Love's Name by queenklu added 131015
Reese is a rare Alpha, with near-Omega obedience and respects both betas and omegas. When Finch, a beta, hires him, he goes along - only to realise that Finch's been using a cover-smell. Finch's an omega - but he, too, is very rare for his kind. Finch might slip him the first couple times, but John’s always been a fan of that old saying: if at first you don’t succeed, try until either they’re dead or you are. I kind of quickly got tired of the whole Alpha/Beta/Omega trend, but this is one of the very few ones I really liked. Nice tension between them, several interesting scenes and good lines. Aww for the whole Leila thing, so very sweet! Nice touch of Reese swiping the lawyer's wallet and using that for the hotel room - that made me smile. Yay for Finch becoming one of the most powerful men in the world even as an omega. Heh for Reese sneezing on Finch. I also liked Reese acknowledgeing the library as Finch's territory. I would have loved a kneecapping scene between Reese and that other Alpha that dismissed Finch. The part with Reese going to the library after Finch in heat and the other Alphas avoiding him made me curious if it's common for an Alpha with a (more or less) claimed omega or a rare instance like when in some races the male can rarely go into some type of heat too.

Sleeping In The Stacks by hiddenlongings added 131015
Reese has difficulties sleeping. He sleeps best in a little hideaway in the library, soothed to sleep by Finch's typing. That his hideaway also gives him a very good view of one of his favourite sights - Finch's legs - doesn't hurt. But one day Finch catches him at it and Reese knows that this will change everything. If Harold had ever shown John the slightest sign that he had wanted him John knew he would have knelt at the older man’s feet and done whatever was asked of him. Sweet little kink on Reese's part. The hideaway in the library reminded me a bit of the Profit series, when the main character sleeps in a box. Tottally different reason here and all, but it still did. It worked for me, though. Sweet end, I liked that, a little aww-worthy. I do have a very soft spot for Reese feeling undeserving, makes for nice angst. Poor boy forgetting his shoes and socks, but heh for the image of him striding confidentally even without them. Heh for John's ulterior motive in dropping his eyes, bad boy, that really made me smile. Nice that the machine gives Harold the info he needs on John. I also liked Reese's desperation to please Finch.

Mnemosyne by subluxate added 131014
Reese needs to sleep. Finch takes Reese to Reese's apartment and when Reeese kisses him without planning to, Finch ends up staying. He humped air and cloth, matching Harold’s rhythm, and then Harold made a sound, desperate and purely sex, and John came. Sweet with how eager Reese is for things to be good for Finch, from tea (awww ...) to blowjobs. Hot with Finch controlling Reese the way he did - and Reese coming the way he did. Heh for Reese bragging with his marks to Shaw. The part from Bear's POV was very sweet.

(S)Takeout by cognomen added 131014
Right after Elias' first meeting with Reese, he's picked up by his lieutenant. Jack (Scarface) is really protective of his boss, to the point of disobedience. Elias needs to show who is boss. Elias closes a hand at the back of Jack's neck and presses with all the strength of a steel trap closing, and Jack has always known there was that much strength in Elias' hands, but when there's the dull inescapable agony of Elias' thumb pressing opposite his pointer finger high up on Jack's neck and just under his skull he realizes it. Elias and Scarface does come off as having a very close relationship on-screen and there are much too few stories about them. This was a nice story. I liked Scarface insisting on the security. Good emotion. Also strong scene with Elias putting him in his place.

Beyond Imagination by astolat added 130926
As the saying goes, there's nothing more dangerous than a bored computer programmer. Except possibly a drugged one. Especially if that programmer is one Harold Finch. Finch gets drugged with something that removes his inhibitions. To Reese's great concern, Finch starta building an intelligent broadly-targeted polymophic cyberweapon. How will Reese get Finch to stop building his weapon and what price will Reese have to pay? John watched him, feeling himself wearing a stricken face, while Harold shifted, eased forward, pressed in. A chilling possibility for sure, of Finch putting his mind to building something that dangerous. Lovely bit of borderline non-con. Good language to confer Reese's distance to what happens. Good with the end, though. I would like more in this universe, the morning after would have been quite ineresting. Good description of what such a weapon could do.

Worship by TigerKat added 130926
John Reese doesn't believe in God. He believes in Harold Finch. He'd call it love, but that is far too pale a word, when every word he speaks into his earpiece is a prayer, when every day he can spend with Finch is a favor. Yes, I could so see this. Nicely put, short but very sweet.

On Good Authority by astolat added 130917
Reese finally finds Finch's actual house. To prove it to Finch he brings home a trophy - a sex toy he found at the house in the form of a chastity belt. however, when Finch lets him know that he wasn't the one who wore the belt, Reese unexpectedly feels very jealous and after that he starts thinking more and more about wearing a chastity belt - for Finch. Would Finch let him? Harold would fuck him, Harold would tell him to hold still, caged, and he'd hold perfectly still, he'd be so very good, while Harold pushed his cock inside and used him — Reese being submissive to Finch just works for me. I did also like Reese's triumph of finding Finch's actual house. I know little about high tech chastity belts, how that would work, but the idea is neat and I really like Finch's direct approach and Reese's eagerness, not to mention Reese's hot fantasies of Finch's dominance. Six times, you dawg Finch you ... Very hot, but with good emotions as well. I really liked the things not going well for Reese if he hugged Finch, as Finch had both hot tea and a computer within easy reach - heeh.

The Most Important Meal of the Day by CaseyM added 130910
Reese gets beaten up, but Finch to the rescue. Finch takes care of Reese, including baking for him. Things baked with love, of course, always taste the best. And soon enough Finch has another opportunity. On impulse Reese kisses Finch. Is it just harmless flirtation or now what? And if it never progressed, if all that happened every day for the rest of his life was that he got to brush his lips against Harold’s … he could be happy with this, as long as Harold didn’t pull away. Aww for Reese missing Finch in his ear. Good dashes of humor- I especially liked Reeses' original response to Finch's control question as to who's the president. Sweet how eager Reese is for Finch's attention and with how little he'd be content with. Lots of the baked goods sounded quite tasty. Also good angst, especially when Reese worries that Finch found his kiss disgusting. The similies with the books I found very vivid and moving. Nice emotions. Heh for the warm lube - and with Finch being Finch I wouldn't put it beyond him to have done that on purpose. Strong image of Reese fearing coming to the library to fint it empty.

Who Needs Tomorrow by eyeus added 130828
Finch and Reese shares a hotel room - but there's only one bed. Reese wakes up to find Finch watching him. When Finch says he wants him, Reese offers him all that he is. Even if he knows he's just a killer or at best a stand-in for Grace. But is that really everything he is to Finch? “Oh,” John blinks, before he’s choking out, “have me,” because whatever Harold wants, he will give, until there’s nothing left; will let Harold consume him, because this is Harold, who’s held him in his thrall since the beginning. Reese belonging to Finch or giving himself fully to him is my favourite thing in PoI fanfiction. This was a nice example with several nice lines and a sweet ending, I really like what Finch told Reese about his worth, aww ...

Pseudoprime by manic_intent added 130828
Finch starts getting strange messages from the Machine, which seems intent to get him to have sex with Reese. Finally it gets too annoying and he gives in, just as an experiment. It surprises him, how much Reese wants him - and how devestated Reese gets when he think he's not good enough. But why did the machine stat sending the messages in the first place? "Of course I want more," Reese says fiercely, and his eyes are wild, "I want everything. God, Harold, don't you know what you do to me?" Heh for the Machine getting involved - and the reason was very sweet. My favorite stories are of a Reese who all but worships Finch and wants so badly to be with hm and this was sweet, with him all but begging and being so devestated when Finch's approach is a bit hot and cold, awww ... I'm not sure if we're to read him as all but crying in one of the phone conversations, but if so, it was lovely. Normally I would find a crying Reese completely OOC, but that hint worked for me. Hot with the demonstration. Several good lines.

You Know I Need It, Too by Perpetual Motion added 130722
Zoe is under the impression that Reese belongs to Finch. When Finch brings up the matter, Reese offers a brush-off they can laugh at and carry on. But Finch isn't laughing. What does Finch think about the matter? “John,” he says so quietly it barely carries, “would you get on your knees for me?” I really like a hint of dominance of Finch over Reese. Nothing too much, but just Reese belonging to Finch and being happy with his place with Finch. This was a sweet story with nice feeling. I especially liked the image of Harold knowing he has the best offer in the room, because of course he does. I like possessiveness.

Proceed by kmmerc added 130722
So, maybe someone is still a little hesitant about the whole sex thing. Maybe the other's reaction isn't quite as predicted. Perhaps it's just as well. Something always hurts, John. Cute story with a nice twist that made me smile. Easy to read the story in different ways, but I think I'll just stick to my reading of it. A little rough maybe, but I do like the idea of Reese giving everything to Finch, regardless.

Intimacy by astolat added 130702
Their next number will go to the Master of Universe bilionaires get-together at Golden Eye. However, attendance is restricted to billionaires only and while Finch can get in as Crane, only significant others can go with the billionaires. And they can't just fake a relationship either, as the staff will ensure that the intimate companions are, indeed, intimate. So Finch and Reese have no choice in the matter. He'd expected the weight on his back to tense him up; instead his brain catalogued smell, body, voice, the shape of the hands on his hips, and said, oh, Harold. Very intimate story, I like the set-up. I found Reese's reaction to Finch taking him very strong and oddly in character, of course he'd like to have Harold so close and so totally in his protection, that really made me smile, very sweet. I would have liked to know more about Reeses' experiences before this, but in my mind the story points to him being rather inexperienced to that type of sex, something else I like a lot. And poor boy, yes, to have that much sex of that type if not experienced is not a good thing in the long run. Heh for the ring thing. Nice feel to the story - the title well chosen. Nice dash of humor too.

Outsider Perspective by Neery added 130702
Due to an explosion in a chem lab, Finch and Reese wakes up, both with no memory of their previous life, apart from where they live and a connection between them. Of course, in Finch's case where he lives is merely one of his personalities. And maybe some of the conclusions they draw are not quite true. Or are Reese really some sort of criminal and Finch his kept man? He was resting his head on Harold's thigh, his eyes closed, smiling a little; he looked as content as Harold had ever seen him. A good amnesia story can be lots of fun and I like this dose of double amnesia. As we know their true relationship to see them try to make sense of their dubious clues is highly amusing. Also a nice dose of angst. Good that they kept together, sweet. I do have a very weak spot for Finch dressing Reese up and buying him things, so that was also nice. As a computer programmer I liked hos Finch reacted to his code and also to the other coding references. Heh for public phones calling them. Interesting how Reese seemed to know how to suck cock, but not necessarily how to fuck a man.

Collared by snarled_musings added 130701
When Reese returns to the library, Finch has a present for him. A collar. If he'd like to wear it for Finch's pleasure. Will he? And, if so, will it be just for Finch's pleasure? He bowed his head, a gesture of submissive supplication, as he spoke the absolute truth: ”I'd do anything for you.” This type of light BDSM fits these characters very well for me, something about Reese being sweetly obedient to Finch's loving control just feels right for me. Hot, yet with good feelings/emotions.

Grimm Numbers by Evenmoor added 130618
Crossover Grimm/Person of Interest in which both Finch and Reese are wesens and then Nick Burkhardt comes to New York - and the Machine sends Finch and Reese his number If Lionel thought he seemed too pretty to be a cop, he was definitely too pretty to be a Grimm. Very interesting crossover. Works very well. Well chosen wesens for Finch and Reese. I liked Fusco in this one. Nice scene where Reese realises Nick is a Grimm. I can see many more potential stories in this universe and I hope for more. Interesting to follow Reese guesses as to what type of wesen Finch is. Interesting that wesen recognize one another by smell (I'm not all caught up on Grimm canon). Very neat idea of Reese controlling himself by his own type of violence rather than what he could have done.

Once more, with feeling by snarled_musings added 130618
Finch and Reese are in a purely sexual relationship, a mutual agreement of conveniene to scratch itches. But unbeknownst to the other, both wants something more. Will one of them dare to reach out for that and, if so, will things work out for them? The soft whisper slid like liquid silk down his damaged spine, drawing a shudder from him. Nice dose of double angst. Nice blend of sweet and hot. Heh for voyeurism kind of being Harold's career. sweet how careful John is to adher to the limits he thinks Harold has put on their relationship - and how happy he gets when Harold reaches out to him. I do like that John is the first man Harold has ever considered being with, that jsut works for me. Nice descriptions of John. I did like how lovingly Harold compares him with a machine - both with Harold being good with machines and how the comparison feels like a compliment.

In My Bones by wildwordwomyn added 130610
Reese dreams of belonging to Finch - any way Finch wants him. It's embarrassing really how quickly John drops to his knees in front of the black leather sofa Finch bought for him, silent and waiting and too eager for the next command. Hot. And I do hope Reese's dream will come true. A little aww-worthy. Nice lines.

Night's Candles by hedda62 added 130610
Reese will most likely die tomorrow. When Finch asks him if there's anything he wants Reese tells him the truth. The only thing he wants, is Finch ... It seemed like minutes they stood there, eyes locked, but it was really only seconds before Harold took one lurching step forward and said, as if it was the simplest thing in the world, "Then of course you can have me," and reached up to bring John's face close to his. Nice and angsty. Hot, yet with emotions. The Number part itself could have been slightly clearer, I had to reread to figure out the set-up, but then it worked (if Reese possibly being a hint stubborn) and I like the ending.

Workplace Ethics by snarled_musings added 130610
Reese is drawn more and more towards Finch. When Finch gets drugged, Finch kisses Reese, which Reese greatly enjoys, but later feels very about taking advantage of Finch. But was there really advantage taken - and,if so, just who took advantage of who? I will not use you that way, knowing you do it out of a warped sense of gratitude. Nice dose of double angst and misunderstandings. I also like when Finch buys stuff for Reese. Poor Reese, considering kneecapping himself, dear boy.

Are you ready (for what I'm about to do to you?) by iteration added 130506
Finch hadn't been prepared for Reese being so very, very good at what he does. Or that he will like so much when Reese is being so capable. Unfortunately, Reese interprets Finch's reaction as distaste for the violence, until Finch needs to take matter into his own hands to make Reese see his appreciation, if in a somewhat unexpected way. Be a terrifying, brutal human weapon who… obeys Finch. Strong, interesting story. I do greatly enjoy a dominant Finch (and Reese also liking that), so this was nice. The thought of all that capability of Reese reined in by Finch is very compelling.Several good lines. Heh for Reese having comic book-like abilities/being a statistical freak. Heh also for them not albe to sign up for sexual harassment workshops anyway. Nice humor. Poor Finch for hs bad experience with Nathan.

Enough by Killalla added 130506
Finch is having a bad day, pain wise. Reese massages his neck, to help, but this turns out to have an unexpected consequence. One that, however, presents Reese with another opportunity to do something useful for Finch. Indeed, before Harold can answer, John is already on his knees, and reaching for his belt buckle. Sweet story. I do like the casualness from Reese's part - I wouldn't want that often, but it fits this story. A little aww-worthy for Finch's remark regarding middle-aged cripples not in demand on the dating market. A bit dark towards the end, but I hoe things will work out just well for them.

Technical Support by astolat added 130506
AU in which Joss wants to help the homeless Reese and sends him to a friend who gives him work as a security guard - at IFT. When a new security system isn't working properly, a Harold Cygne comes to fix things. They start to investigate the intruder together - and Cygnet proves to be something of a riddle, so Reese investigates him as well ... John had been eating better lately, getting enough calories, but when the steak was put down in front of him — charred outside, pink juices pooling around it when he cut in, a smell like heaven — his brain abruptly went offline. I'm normally not much for AUs, but this was a sweet one. Aww, they do belong together, no matter what. Well plotted story, works well and several good details. Yay for both of them being very competent with what they do. Good ending. Nice the way they got together. Yay for Reese figuring out almost everything on his own. Nice touch with Cygnet's auto correct system and the peeling stickers. I liked the scene with Dave, how Reese reacts to both him and Cygnet, very interesting, nice how Cygnet holds Reese back with fingers on his hand. For some reason I found the restaurant-scene touching, with Reese eating so eagerly and Cygnet giving him from his own plate. And aww for Cygnet buying stuff for Reese otherwise too.

Strange by astolat added 130502
When Finch realises that Reese wants to have sex with him, the idea had never even occurred to him. But he agrees and it's not too bad, in fact it's rather nice and Reese is obviously very eager. And even if Finch might not love Reese quite that way, he does still love him and perhaps that's enough. “Harold,” John breathes out, in raw gratitude, and he’s sliding to his knees and fumbling, astonishingly clumsy, for Harold’s pants. Interesting angle - and one I'm very weak for, when love meets a more platonic love, but together they still build something strong. I find that really beautiful and in this case believable. Nicely written.

Employment Benefits by astolat added 130502
Shaw joins Finch's operation. She doesn't like Reese much and one mission, during which Finch backs her up, she and FInch ends up in bed. They are having a good time, the only trouble is how it affects Reese. Harold had fished Reese out of the pit and given him a job he could do, and Reese was clearly his for life because of that. Aww ... poor Reese. I haven't seen the Shaw character yet on the show and am not sure if I like her. Women who comes between my slash pairing tends to make me twitch, especially strong women. I'll have to reread the story after I watched second season to see what I like about her and finding out things and so on. But I did like how well she ilustrated what a good lover Finch is - and how smart he is. And that she let Reese have him. I did like many lines in the story (when I reread on my kindle I underline the lines I like and for such a relatively short story I underlined lots of lines in this one). My favourite part, though, was the end, when Reese so obviously likes the idea of Finch collaring him - or even ring marks him. Cute with Reese bragging about his boyfriend too - and him getting turned on by a forceful Finch.

The Final Frontier by Rosslyn added 130430
There's a new number - and it's Finch's. The Machine has been infected and to avoid it being turned into a weapon, Finch and Reese are forced to drastic measures - really drastic measures. But in the process some unexpected truths are revealed. "So that you won't find yourself insulted," Reese says, in the same casual tone that he keeps whenever he's feeling particularly predatory, "I should tell you now that if you do anything stupid, especially on your own, I will spend the rest of my life finding you, or avenging you, whichever need comes first." Aww ... Finch, you big romantic, you. But while yes to keeping secrets from Reese (he likes it), really, that the two of you are actually married ...? Aww ... And the grave, that really made me sigh with happiness - that's love ... Really sad about the machine, but otherwise I like the story and I'm sure they'll be back eventually. Cute with the pi-numbers. Nicely intimate in places and well in character.

The Rest Is Silence by hedda62 added 130430
At first, Reese doesn't like Finch's voice much. Then he likes it better and better. And better. Until he could probably come just from hearing him talk. Only then finch finds out - and they decide to put Reese's weakness to a test - could he really come just from Finch's voice? It was hard to reconcile lust and worship, and Reese didn't try, just let one or the other take him, like a current washing downstream. Sweet and kinda hot. Me, I liked Finch's voice from the start - he has a great voice. Heh for the way Finch finds out. Several amusing details. Good voice for Finch, pardon the pun. I liked the way Reese "warns" that Finch saying "particularly educational" a few more times might do the trick ...

Collar by kmmerc added 130430
Finch is not happy with Reese disobeying his order and getting thrown into prison. He tells Reese he's fired - but when Reese literally begs on his knees to be allowed to stay, he relents. But only if Reese starts to wear a collar to show who is in charge. Before the end of the night, he opened his flies and gave John another job to do. My Reese differs a bit from the Reese in this story. I could see Reese wearing the collar and obeying FInch as property, even begging to be allowed to stay and so on, but the tears and moans when begging to stay got a hint too much for me. Beside those details I enjoyed this story. Reese's obedience was well shown and Finch's concern and care of him nicely described. I like the subtle hints of sex, a nice contrast to the strong theme of the collar. Nice touch with the titanium in the collar.

Touch by iteration added 130430
Finch always watched Reese, but when Reese not just flirts with someone, but goes home with them, Finch doesn't want to watch any longer. But Reese realises he'd rather be in the library with Finch. And one day, Finch realises how Reese acts around him and maybe he'll finally not just watch any longer. John does not want to look up - does not want to see what Finch thinks of his filthiness and submission. Cute story that made me smile. I liked Reese's eagerness, almost desperation, to be with Finch. And what I really liked was the lovely, angsty momente towards the end, when Reese at first does not want to see what Finch thinks of him now - aww ...

Raven by CaseyM added 130422
Reeses misses a step and recognises that while he's still among the deadliest men in the world, he is about to leave his peak. Finch promises that they will look into the matter together - and then he asks Reese how he would like to die. “I always thought perhaps I’d like to die in bed, sexually sated by an impossibly beautiful woman.” I liked the story. Interesting idea, a realistic problem, good solution, well executed. And I do love the idea of them going on, just like they are, for a very long time. My problem with it to start with, though, was the name of the OFC - Raven at once made me think of the Highlander spinoff, Raven. Especially since it was referred to Finch's "oldest friend". Now, I've never seen thar particular spinn-off, even if I've seen plenty of Highlander. I know vaguely that it is about the female Immortal Amanda, about 1200 years old. Immortals stop aging, all wounds heal, those already Immortal can recognize pre-Immortals and they can only be killed by beheading, so I kept thinking Immortals all through the story, even if the story wasn't labelled as a crossover. Also, there are differences between the Immortals of Highlander and the immortality in this story. Still, I quite enjoyed the rest. Good, hot sex (nice with Reese as such a thoughtful lover), but also nicely emotional. Well derscribed Reeses' confusion in the heat, and how he decides to follow Finch into death - awww ... Nice dash of humor too. And Raven is an interesting OFC.

An Unconventional Partnership by Rosslyn added 130422
Neal's past returns to haunt him and the Machine gives his number to Finch and Reese. So the White Collar division gets help from the Man in a Suit and his boss. But his gun wasn't faster than Finch's tap, for Finch had far more experience in typing than any man would have had in pulling the trigger. Nice crossover that gives equal respect for the two shows, which is nice. They work together well, the universes blends nicely. Several nice details. Good voices for all of them. I liked Finch morse coding by blinking. And Reese's kneecaps technique getting renown. Heh for the twist with Moriarity. Good with the contingency plans.

Hell, High Water and Amnesia by Maekala added 130416
Reese is caught in explosion and suffers amnesia. He remember small bits, but he doesn't know who to trust - or why he is so drawn to the odd man with the limp. Will he dare to trust again? Harold felt a brief moment of paralysing fear at the thought that John had come to kill him for what he thought was Harold's betrayal before he gave himself a mental slap. A good amnesia story is never cliche and I liked this one. Well written with good details with the length to thoroughly enjoy. Good intimacy between them, even when Reese is unconscious or don't know Finch. Awww for Reese thinking him expendable, poor boy. Really sweet how he kept expecting a voice in his ear or touching his ear, that made me smile. Several good lines. Nice emotion, warm. Really nice touch that Reese's body could avoid his own surveillance. Heh also for Reese to wonder why he followed Finch if they were friends. Cute with the passports, also a nice detail.

Superstition by icarus_chained added 130415
On leaving the library, Reese jokes with Finch to give him a kiss for luck. Finch sees it as superstition. But is it really wise to tempt the gods? And then stared, in something very close to shock, as Finch impatiently took the hand in his, turned it the other way, and drew it up to press his lips to the back of John's knuckles in a dry and bizarrely courtly kiss. Sweet, a little aww-worthy. And the kiss was a very nice touch, well done Finch.

Trophy Husband by killalla added 130415
A number takes Reese and Finch to England, with Reese participating in a conference and Finch as his trophy husband. However, many of the other conference participants also turns out to play a strategy game in which Finch is an acknowledged master. Reese finds himself on the sideline and am not happy about this development. They’d only just sat down to dinner when a tall, aristocratic, and aging-but-still-handsome Englishman walked up to the table, took one look at Harold, and exclaimed, “Rommel, you magnificent bastard!” Cute background stories for them. Interesting to take them out of the US, we don't see that often. Nice to let Finch be so admired by the others, he so very much deserves it - and cute with Reese getting jealous.

Catch A Boat To England, Baby (Maybe to Spain) by leupagus added 130415
AU in which Harold goes with Nathan to Germany on a company meeting. There the young, sweet Private Johann Harris is assigned to protect him. But before Nathan can do something terrible and predictable like lock Harold into his room with Private Harris (he still has flashbacks of having to help poor Brad Kemblowski, who was very nice and very handsome very not interested in him, escape from Harold’s third-floor dorm room where Nathan had glued Harold’s door shut and yelled, “Condoms are under your mattress, just be a man, Harold!”), someone tries to kill him. Aww, shy, gawky, clumsy Reese is cute. I wouldn't like him like that normally, but for this story it was adorable. especially as he was very efficient when needed and heh for him not knowing what to do if he missed, as he never does. Hot sex and cute ending, even if I hoped for more of their future (Though I read the very end as a future for them, so that's okay). Heh for Nathan in this one. Nice humor.

Losing Control by Neery added 130412
Reese is drugged with a drug that lowers people's inhibitions and has made them kill others in gruesome ways. Finch gets him tied up in the library, waiting for it to take affect - but nothing seems to happen. Eventually they decide its safe to release one of his hands - but it proves not as safe as they had hoped ... John Reese, who hadn't begged under torture, was begging for him. Nice scenario. I like this plot. Lovely angst. For some reason I liked that Fusco got to spot what happened, he doesn't get much break, otherwise. Nice emotion when they fear John may lose control - and then, when he does. I found myself liking, apart from the very nice angst and the mounting tension between them, also the side plot with the programmers Harold ends up tutoring a bit. I would have liked to read an even longer story in this universe, but, then, I'm greedy that way. Heh for Brainfuck.

Rest Hold by annchi added 130412
When he has rescued them, some people hug Reese. He's not a hugger. Finch is, though. Eventually Reese starts passing on the hugs. He moved into Finch's space and put both arms around him, then waited until the other man relaxed against him before he stroked up and down his back in a way that was careful but unmistakably affectionate. A cute story that really made me smile.

Triceps Brachii by judgebunnie added 130412
Reese catches Finch really enjoying watching him do push ups. Luckily, Reese really enjoys watching him. There was only so much one man can take, and John Reese on his knees begging to suck you off was above and beyond Harold’s resources. Hot with a nice touch of emotion and a dash of humor. Poor Harold, never had a chance. I like him being in charge, though.

Not Quite Made In China by Della19 added 130412
Finch might look mild and harmless, but when Reese is taken, Finch shows the hard, ruthless side of himself to get his man back. And those who get in his way, will burn. I really love the ruthless side of Finch, my favourite type of Finch, and I really like it when he's the one to the rescue, very nice. Many good lines in this one, especially for such a relatively short story. A bit aww-worthy in places. Nice language. Nice humor in places, too.

Touching Mr. Reese by Draycevixen added 130412
A new number requires Reese to act as if willing to do anything Finch wants, sexually - anything. And he is willing, even if he'd prefer some things to other things. But what does Finch really want - if anything? He’d done things he’d hated for people who’d meant a lot less to him so he could do this for Finch. The first part was really hot, even if it was only pretend, but that alone wouldn't have done much for me, the clincher was most definitelly the second part - lovely, compact angst with a very nice resolution. Nice touch of self-sacrifice in Reese willing to do things he might not himself prefer, if they will get him closer to Finch -lovely, but even nicer with the balancing ending. Good work.

Taken by astolat added 130412
Finch didn't know Reese is a beta. And Reese didn't know that Finch was an alpha. This makes it somewhat awkward when Reese goes into heat. But maybe that isn't such a bad thing. After a moment, he put a hand on John’s thigh, possessive, and John gave a small sigh of satisfaction and let himself enjoy it: he was taken. I wasn't quite sure what to think of the set-up of this story to start with, but it is by an author I trust, so I decided to give it a try and on reading it, I found it unexpectedly hot, but with a surprising dash of aww towards the end. I do like a bit of borderline non con now and then and this made me smile at the end, so I decided that I like it. Poor Reese, but it worked out well in the end.

Point of A Pistol by Giddygeek added 130412
Root is back - and she wants Harold. Her presence pushes Reese closer to Finch, which in turn makes Root more and more desperate. Finally Reese takes Bear and Finch and runs. But he's got a plan. If she knew what she was up against, she'd know that it would take so much more than the threat of bloodshed for John to lose him now. Nice plot, interesting and well written. Bad Leon. I like how homey Finch's apartment was. Nice touch with the toaster and four slices. Several good lines. Cute with Reese carrying around Finch's cufflink (and Finch knowing, of course). Finch sending Bear to find Reese when he's spying on them was really cute. Nice, amusing banter between them. Heh for Reese having Finch arrested. And for stealth-buying cars. I liked the Machine trying to warn them. Cute ending.

Raise Your Weapon by wonderble added 130412
When Reese has nothing to do, he considers how he would kill Finch. Oh, he doesn't plan to actively do it, but still. Luckily, Finch doesn't mind much. He knows exactly how he would destroy Reese, should it be necessary. Hopefully they will stay in balance. "If you're done planning my murder, I would like to discuss the possibility of lunch," the dry voice interrupts him. Very interesting, thoughtworthy story, well written and strangely believable in its context. Inspiring. On consideration, I would fear Finch the most.

Structure by faith_manages added 130412
Reese has a problem with assuming one of his aliases, John Anderson. Finch, as Anderson's boss, Harold Partridge, decides to take matters into his own hand and give Anderson a structured situation - on his knees before his boss. Part of it was the razor-wire sharp competence he exuded, part of it was the dark-colored suits that flattered his frame and skin tone, and part of it was the cane. Cute (and hot) role play. Interesting choice for a first time story - though I liked it better since the dance between them had begun before the role play started, that made it work for me.

Split-Aparts by Della19 added 130412
Finch and Reese are partners, but more than that - they're like two parts of the same person, incomplete without each other. But this-this man with his guns and his suit and his voice and his impossible certainty-snuck into his very soul when Finch wasn’t looking and made himself a home there in that once empty place, and Finch knows, with a certainty he’s only ever felt before when looking at code, that if this man died, Finch would not survive it. Nice stories, I like how the part complement and balance each other, so we get both views and enrichen the message. Nice language, almost a bit poetic. A little aww-worthy in parts. Interesting take on Roots. Several nice lines.

Long Way Home by Draycevixen added 130412
Reese gets captured. finch to the rescue, but in the process he has to kill someone. Reese was hurt enough that Finch takes him home to care for him, but Reese is more worried about what his mistake forced Finch to do. “It was him or you, John, and that’s no choice at all.” I like Finch to the rescue. Nice show of Finch's humor in this one. I did like Finch's home and the obvious, loving effort made to make a space for Reese there, which I read as wishful thinking too. He only needed Reese and then he was all set, very cute. Cute ending, very Finch. And a little awww for Reese grinning like an idiot when he finds out. And, yes, who wouldn't love a man with his own stash of Lidocaine?

Distractions by sarcasticsra added 130412
Finch and Reese play business partners as cover identities at an internet cafe, only Finch is wearing jeans. Reese gets so distracted he has to resort to pretending to be a different type of partner for them to be believable. John is entirely unsurprised to find he’s content to go wherever Harold wants him. Great image of Finch like that and fun with Reese so distracted. Amusing story that made me smile. I really like Reese as Finch's trophy boytoy, definitely a kink of mine.

Flock Together by galaxysoup added 130412
Bear finds himself a Finch all of his own. A Finch in the form of a sweet little kitten. “Bear did not go out and find a cat version of me, Mr. Reese!” Harold snaps when John points and raises his eyebrows wordlessly. Awww ... So cute! This story made me smile and I'd love to read more stories about Querty. Cute with the name.

I Saw What You Did There by AKMars added 130411
Leon Tao really likes Reese pushing him around and starts giving Reese more and more reason to do so. Both Reese and Finch are getting rather tired of this and decides that Finch will have a very serious talk with Tao and set him straight that Tao don't have a chance with Reese. John smoothly fell to his knees at his boss’ side; a look of bliss on his upturned face. Fun story. I did greatly enjoy Reese's obvious devotion to Finch, very sweet, even a little aww-worthy. Poor Tao, never had a chance. Serves him right, underestimating Finch. I like Finch in this one. Several good lines. One of those stories you only want more of.

Now You See Me by Della19 added 130402
His injuries prevents Finch from doing a lot of things. He also doesn't want anyone to see him or touch him, which makes human interaction a bit difficult. And maybe (or maybe not) he wasn't a voyeur, but then he he realises something about Reese. Reese looks into cameras - and sees Finch. And Reese doesn't mind that Finch is watching him to all kinds of things. But then the tone changes, becomes soft where it was hot, yet no less intense as John stands, approaches the window, eyes still fixed on Harold, so unbearably fond, and holds one of his hands-so elegant for such deadly weapons-up to his own mouth, presses a kiss to the palm before placing that very palm against the glass, and with a little manipulation of the zoom, his hand is the same size as Harold’s own on the monitor. Interesting idea, awww-worthy in places, good feeling, fresh feeling, several good lines. Great that Reese helps Finch with the running - and the sex too, which turned very, very intimate despite the distance. I would have loved to read more in this universe, maybe from Reese's POV too.

I'll Never Let Go of Your Hand by Draycevixen added 130402
Reese is taken and Finch takes drastic measures to get him back. When Reese finally woke up Finch found he could breathe again. Ruthless Finch, ready to do anything - simply great. short story, but oh so sweet.

Better Luck This Time by Lisztful added 130402
Carter calls Finch Reese's boyfriend - and is very surprised at his reaction. Very reluctantly, she finds herself giving advise in Reese's courting campaigne, which does not go all that great to start with ... “Well, I suppose a break wouldn’t hurt,” Finch said, and John restrained the urge to do something horrifically embarrassing, like a victory fistpump. Sweet story, I liked Reese's fumbling attempt at courting, poor boy. Nice humor, it really made me smile. Good feeling between the boys, some nice details. Cute with the vintage computer museum. Sweet that Finch worried that Reese'd feel that he'd have to be with Finch in order to keep his job, that gave a nice little angsty twist.

Hamartia (the hero's fatal flaw) by Astolat added 130402
Leila is under threat. Root is involved. Finch and Reese takes Leila and runs. They go undercover as a gay couple. Only they are under heavy scruitiny (by way of a nosy neighbor armed with military-grade binoculars), so they have to keep up their appearance and after a while it gets easier and easier to pretend. He'd learned what it felt like to ease himself slow and steady down on Harold's cock because he'd wanted Harold to have that from him; he'd learned how much he loved it, unexpectedly, how good it made his body feel. Nice story. Very sweet with Leila. Her calling Harold Glasses was very cute and later how she calls them Daddy and Papa. Very varm and intimate. Very nice end to the story, aww-worthy. My favourite scene was with the neighbors coming over to have a talk with the gay couple and Reese assembling guns as they speak.

The House on 22nd Street added 130328
Reese follows Finch and finds that he on occasion goes to a brothel - and has sex with a man looking a lot like Reese ... Finally he confronts him, because he has a problem with this. What's his is his, and Harold is more his than anyone or anything else, and he wants to make Harold shake, wants to make this so good Harold never thinks of anyone else, never lets anyone else. Very warm story, besides the brothel part, hot and with good emotions and hints of angst. I like possessiveness and I like how Reese handled things. Several good lines. Nice little tension when Reese finally tells Finch. Also afterwards when he worries about Finch's reaction.

Touch by elfin added 130326
When Finch was taken from him, Reese gets really angry. Later, when Finch is returned to him, he does his best to help him. To recover is not easy, but eventually Finch allows Reese to help some. --until Harold joined him, wrapped in a big white bathrobe, looking so incredibly fragile and vulnerable it made John’s muscle’s ache to grab him, to hug him, made his soul ache to put the man in a gilded cage and keep anyone from ever coming close to him again. I like Reeses's evaluation of his emotional state after Finch was taken: very powerful. It shows how special Finch is to him. Some very nice lines.

A Delicate Union by wildwordwomyn added 130326
Reese invites Finch for dinner. He has no hidden agenda, but a bit of teasing and a bit of flirting, when Reese invites Finch for a nightcap, Finch agrees. He ran his hands up and down his back slowly, lightly, thinking if this was it it was still better than he deserved and more than he ever hoped for. Interesting that Reese considers the possibility that he might be a game Finch plays. Warm and intimate in places. Aww for Finch telling Reese not to expect too much of him, I find that sweet.

Meet the Family by Draycevixen added 130326
Reese finds out more about Finch's family. Or part of it anyway, more namely his cousins, Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes. The Holmes part of the family is a bit daunting, especially their mother... While drunk off her ass my old CIA handler once told me that the scariest person she’d ever met was a tall, thin Englishman who dressed like a banker and always carried an umbrella. Fun crossover. I like Reese being more intelligent than Mycroft thinks. Also very amusing how Mycroft decides UN votes and Violet interefers with the presidental premaries. Sweet with Reese spying on Finch's meeting with Mycroft. Good on Violet to approve of Reeves.Heh for Watson thinking of getting business cards with "please try to resist the urge to punch Sherlock in the face". Heh also for Mycroft hiding his mother's passport. Big awww for Finch momentarily thinking Reese finds Sherlock attractive. I hope for more installments in this series.

Surveillance by KaticaLocke added 130326
Finch catches Reese having sex with a man after having asked the man to wear glasses so that Reese can more easily pretend he's Finch. At first Finch doesn't react all too well - but eventually they do get together - only hours later Reese is shot in the head and when he wakes up he's no longer the man he was. Now what will Finch do and is there still hope? "You have no idea how many times a day I wish you'd call me John, but you never do, you have to keep that professional distance, because the fucking world would end if you ever showed the slightest hint that you might actually like me, and now you brandish my name like a weapon to break down my defenses, because that's all you know how to do -- watch and learn and manipulate people into doing what you want--" Nice story with good plot, depth, interesting development, very many good lines and good feeling. A bit aww-worthy in places. I especially liked the "other" Reese. I wouldn't want him like that always, of course, but it was very sweet and well written. Bad Reese, putting on a show. Bad Finch, teasing him. Several nice bits of angst, hot sex. I especially liked the notion that Finch might do it just to keep Reese (but I wouldn't have wanted it to be true). Nice touch of humor. Sad that Reese doesn't remember, but maybe he will, later. Sweet ending. Nice touch also with Finch disabling the surveillance in the elevator.

Concierge Service by astolat added 130311
Reese has a date with Morgan. Nothing happens. When Finch finds out he calls Morgan to explain how Reese is more used to following orders than to take charge. Morgan agrees to give Reese a second chance - if Finch comes with him. It seemed vaguely wrong to need someone to arrange your sex life, but - it was Harold, after all. Awww, poor Reese. I could see this happening, though - and I did like Finch takng charge of the situation. Normally I don't like threesomes much, especially not when there's sex, but this is a very nice one. Hot too. Very nice ending, I really liked that.

Merry Christmas, Mr. Finch by KaticaLocke added 130311
It's Christmas and both Reese and Finch are alone. Finch unexpectedly invites Reese to come home to him for Christmas dinner. Only, afterwards Reese is reluctant to leave and there's a mistle above the door and one things leads to another ... He'd never seen a man look at him the way Finch was looking at him and it made the short hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. Sweet story. Several good lines. Both well in character. I liked Reese's caution in the beginning on approaching the apartment. And I greatly enjoyed Reese being inexperienced at gay sex, but willing to do anything Finch desires - awwww ... That really worked for me. Awwww also for the pain comment - lovely, truly. Heh for Finch being good with his hands. Good emotion, nice little humor too.

Self Defense by Speranza added 130311
Finch has to kill to save Reese's life. He's in shock, so it's up to Reese to get them away. He has to throw the police off their track, so he takes them somewhere the police will find them - and proceeds to make sure the police finds them in a delicate position. Only, how will Finch react when he wakes up from his shock - and how does Reese himself feel about what he did? He couldn't remember when he'd last fels uch pleasure, and such a copmlex pleasure: physical gratification leavened by the hard, bittersweet knowledge that Reese had been forced to it by his love of him. Lovely angst on both sides, good plot with sweet solution. Reeses' emotions well described even in Finch's POV. Cute with Reese not pulling down his blinds, as Harold is the only one likely to spy on him. Sweet how he reacts to Finch's voice.

Bargain At The Price by astolat added 130307
Finch and Reese infiltrates a bachelor charity auction. Finch buys Reese, but once they come to the exclusive auction dinner, the auction turns out to have a very sexual end game. Now what? "Would you like to be very good for me?" Harold asked quietly. Nice dominance play, with them both well in character. Good plot too, delt with Reeses' side and emotions very nicely shown even when in Finch's POV. Rather hot. The ending made me smile, very nice solution and how our heroes are left.

Weapon by astolat added 130307
Zoe tells Reese that everyone he cares for must see him as a useful weapon. This upsets him, so he asks Finch. Yet while Finch readily agrees, there's something about the way he agrees that makes all the difference. "Harold," he said softly, "use me." Sweet story. I liked Reese helping Finch building a server, I found that unexpectedly intimate. Awww for Reese's reaction, both when Zoe tells him and later, when Finch does. I liked the way he describes his secret. Nice language - I especially liked comparing the gleam of cufflinks to Victorian flash of ankles. Heh for Fusco calling on Reese's "strutting" for Finch.

Peak Effect by astolat added 130301
Reese is drugged and wants to have sex with Finch. Finch is attracted to him, but doesn't want to do anything with Reese drugged. Will he be able to resist - and, if so, will Reese be able to take no for an answer? John couldn't make anything come out of his mouth, terror and hope choking him; he couldn't make himself move. Well described drug haze. Poignant hints of Reese finding himself unworthy of Finch, I like that a lot. Sweet emotion on Finch's part too.

Fealty by astolat added 130301
Reese gets kidnapped by Stanton. Finch, trying to save him, overhears a very interesting conversation between Reese and Stanton, on the subject of Finch himself, and what Reese would like from him. And the only promise I will make you is that having found you, I will go to almost any lengths you care to name to keep you. Very nice story, which I would have loved to see on screen. Nice plot details, good emotions. I like Finch's resourcefulness. Nice ending.

	The Avengers Disclaimer and information As so many other fans I find myself brainwashed by Coulson/Barton. But I enjoy other combinations as well.

Limericks Are Romantic by McEnchilada added 141229
When Clint gets bored (or just because he wants to), he writes limericks and gives to Coulson. Coulson finds this (and Clint) adorable. "So I finally got into Phil's bed, and discovered that he gives really great he--" Sweet how Coulson saves the limericks. I like Coulson praising Cint. The limericks themselves were cute and made me smile, but several of them were also good and clever. Aww for Coulson being the only one Clint'd miss at SHIELD.

Stumblr Fics by vodkaanddebauchery added 141124
Bucky sees his girlfriend and embraces her from behind - only he's not embracing his girlfriend, but a rather thin man. Maybe it's just as well? In another story, Jake Jensen wants to kiss Cougar, but dares not. So he does somethiing else. And Coulson has ascended to Geek Nirvana ... For Chrissakes, Jensen needs to remove himself from this situation before he does something monumentally stupid, like lay one on his very Catholic, very likely straight, very likely heteronormative teammate. Several cute stories that made me smile. Good emotion. Good voice for especailly Jensen, and cute how he bought Mojito.

Room To Heal by Ralkana added 141124
After the battle of New York, Coulson is slow to heal. When they let him out of medic, he can only walk very short bits, not reach above a certain angle and he'll have great difficulties with, well, everything. He lets Clint drive him home, but he gets more and more depressed until they get there - and he sees what Clint has done. They can reach me if they need me, and I've been informed that my presence is still mandatory at all team dinners and movie nights -- one slightly-foxed senior agent in tow required for entrance. Very sweet, with many good, loving details. What wouldn't I do for a partner willing to do a fraction of such things, for me. Aww-worthy. Poor (but lucky) Phil. Heeh about the landlord thing.

Trump Card by infiniteeight added 141124
When an omega go into heat they emit a scent that drives alphas mad with desire. Well, everyone's a bit different and most omegas attract only some alphas. Clint's special, though: his scent doesn't attract alphas: it repels them. that's why he never went into a relationship with Coulson, because once an alpha scents his heat smell, they never look at him the same - and he never wants Coulson to look at him with loathing. So he spends his heats in isolation. Until a mission with the Avengers fucks up his heat cycle and Coulson walks in on him. Now what? Phil growls again and takes a step toward Clint and oh God, Phil's so hard he's tenting his pants, just from catching Clint's scent. Good, fresh take on the ABO thing, works well. Hot too. nice angst and poor Clint ... I liked the end. Interesting with the lure of the near-rape fantasies.

Animal House by Mikey (mikes_grrl) added 141124
Clint becomes proudly owned by a tiny, deformed cat, Donut. Then, after the battle of NY, he inherits from Coulson the Howling Cor-mmandos, Phil's three beloved Corgis: Stevie Bucky and Dum-Dum. The dogs (and Clint) still misses coulson, though. But one day, Clint brings them all back to SHIELD - and why does the dogs react so strangely to Hill? If he loved Agent Phil Coulson from afar like the girl pining for the hero in one of Natasha's bodice rippers that she denied reading, then that was Clint's problem and no one else's. Adorable pet story with good emotion and depth, including a good dose of classic magic (I do remember lore of cats drinking people's breaths). Donut is lovely (and all the animals are warmly described, good characters). I also liked Mr Delany, nice OC. Aww for Clint resigning himself to be Phil's fourth pet (and bottom of the pecking order). Cute with his game of leading the dogs for a chace across SHIELD - and good use of this later, when they return. I liked Steve in this one. Several good line. Nice touch with how Donut resembles Clint. I also like dhte list of all her toys, very loving. Heh for the AmeriHawk and Coulson getting jealous. Very cute with how the dogs take care of Donut. Good humor. I like when the attac on the helicarrier gives Clint cred. Interesting with the scent when Phil has his episode, good involvement of that sense. Thor was so cute with the corgies. Heh for the plot of the second story, good use of Thor and also how Coulson loses his cool when it all happens.

Five Times Clint Waited for the Other Shoe to Drop and the One Time He Realized it Never Would by AvaKay added 141124
All Clint knows of relationships is heavy abuse, physical and emotional. When he and Coulson starts dating he's terrified that he'll mess up so that Coulson will beat him. And then he does mess up ... How will Coulson react? He wouldn't hurt him...as long as Clint didn't give him a reason. While I do have trouble seeing Clint being abused in general, I do enjoy stories with low self-esteem and him being worried about Coulson hurting him (needlessly worried, of course), that I find sweet, so for the read of the story I could believe that. Strong with the flashback.

Sneaking Up on Fate by KuriKuri added 141124
His name is Philip J Coulson - though he's better known as Fate. Just like The Grim Reaper's real name is actually Nick. Fate has a problem. Once someone's name is entered in his book of death, they die. Except for one Clinton Francis Barton, who's name has now appeared for the 47th time - and not even Nick himself can collect his soul. What's going on? “You don’t think I’m scary?” Phil asked, his voice soft and controlled, but he couldn’t help slipping a little bit of his true power into it, delighted by the shivers it elicited from Clint. Classic plot, nicely executed. Good chioce of mythology and nice crossover too. Heh for Coulson being mistaken for Heaven's tax accountant. Heh also for Tony wanting to quit as war (good solution, though he would have made a good Chaos too). A universe I'd like to read more in. Several good details. I'm not quite sure how Phil's had the job for 250.000 years if the original Fate passed the job to him when the Roman Empire split off into East and West, but maybe I misunderstood something. I like stories with Phil has powers and being (acknowledged) as dangerous. Cute comparing the mirrors (another classic touch) with Skype. Charles Xavier inventing the British accent also made me smile. Visual. Nice dash of humor.

Your Old Standby, Your Right Hand Guy by Serenitala added 141120
Steve asks Coulson for help. Hawkeye doesn't respect him and that makes team cohesion difficult. So why is Clint being so difficult? Can Coulson help? “You're wrong you know,” he says, running his finger around the rim of the bottle, “Rogers isn't my favorite.” Always cute when Clint's jealous of Coulson's fanboying of Captain America. Cute. Nice emotion and I liked the end.

They're Homemade by AdamantSteve added 141120
Coulson brings homemade scones to the office for the new recruits. This is to make Phil seem even more trustworthy. That's the story he tells Clint anyway. He doesn't tell CLint that at HQ the scones are laced with chemicals designed to make people agreeable. Maybe it's just best to keep hiding it from Clint. But why does Clint think that the scones he gets now tastes different than before? If Clint suspected Phil of fucking with his mind even more than he already had, well, it wouldn’t be over, but it would have to start from scratch. Again. Lovely dash of darkness, would be interesting to read more about. Nice hinting and I liked the twist at the end.

Somewhere to Belong by AndInThoseMoments added 141119
Clint has become something of the SHIELD slut, hopping into bed with everyoen who leaves their room number in his locker, just to get some human contact and affirmation. When he's assigned to Coulson he's confused when Coulson doesn't want to sleep with him, but they work together and things get better and better. Can things change for Clint? He knew that the rookie was right, that he was a slut, that the only reason anyone would be trying to keep him in SHIELD would be for sex, but Coulson had seemed disgusted by the idea. A bit darkish and difficult for me in the beginning, but I liked the changes for Clint, both with Coulson and with the other SHIELD agents. Poor Clint. Good emotion and I do feel for him when he worries about having messed up. I like stories with self-esteem issues. Nice dash of humor too. And I liked the turn on Grants. Aww for Coulson hugs, they sound lovely. Moving in bits.

Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs by coulsons-hawk (allyoop) added 141119
Valentine's day and Clint's playing Cupid of SHIELD. He even invades Coulson's office - but only to use it to keep his stash. Everyone at SHIELD seems to have a Valentine. Except for Coulson, who's getting a bit sad about this. But is ther really no one for him? “Phil – Coulson- I’m sorry. I misunderstood and that was way past the boundaries and I’m going to leave now.” Cute story that made me smile, but also a good dash of angst.

Purple by mapleandmahogany added 141119
Coulson walks in on Clint changing clothes. It shouldn't matter. He's seen Clint naked and in all states of dress. The thing is ... Clint's wearing purple panties. Phil's utterly captivated. How will Barton react when he notices? The choking edge of Phil’s embarrassment would eventually go down and maybe Clint would tease him sometimes, about having a crush, but he wouldn’t hold it against him. This was never a kink of mine, but the story convinced me, even if just while I read it. Very sweet story - and hot. Good, visual descriptions. Aww for Coulson gawping, poor man ... Good feel between them. Sweet with Coulson liking to select Barton's clothes on missions. Lovely dash of angst.

Clint and Phil (MCU Avengers Universe) by cakeisnotpie added 141118
The life of Clint and Phil, who love each other very much, for better and for worse (mostly for better). For some reason, Phil thought he wasn’t a great catch, that his male patterned baldness, his desk job, and his age meant he wasn’t attractive; Natasha had never figured this one out because she considered Phil’s lethal competence, his ability to take care of everyone around him, and his unstinting loyalty to his people the most admirable traits in a mate. One of those long, lovely universes, with lots of details and feelings, but not so easy to summarize the actual plot of. Lovely, loving desciprions, especially of Coulson. Great that Clint was able to withstand Loki a little, based on his love of Coulson. Strong in bits. Nicely written. Interesting about Coulson's family, would be neat with more on that. I liked Coulson's prediction of the children's future in the tower. And Coulson standing up against the doctor. Neat with the things Tony makes for them to make up for blurting out secrets, especially the ties. Yay for the Hot Toys. I have three myself (Clint, Phil and steve) and adore them. Interesting (and also a bit scary) with the Surgeon. I liked the idea of Coulson having a stalker. Heh for taking out armies with legos. Sweet that they drift closer when they sleep together. I'd like to hear more about THor's gift, sounded classic. Nice bits of angst and misunderstandings. Several good lines. I think my favorite bit was Clint going back to the past, thoughtworthy, but also sweet and I liked the outcome.

Next to Normal by heartsdesire456 added 141112
Phil is going home to his family for his sister Erika's marriage. Alas, he's been lying about being in a relationship and his sister has promised their mother that he'll bring his man. Shortof hiring an escort, he instead bucks up and asks Clint to go with him as a favor. Clint agrees After all, he's had a stupid crush on Coulson for a long time. How will the visit go? I mean, I thought you were pretty awesome before that, but if anything was gonna win my heart, it was going to be the G-man leading a body-armored rescue team in an Armani suit and aviators A plot I enjoy. I liked stories with Coulsons' family and also pretend-relationships-leading-to-more. Poor phil ... Clint's very sweet and I really liked him standing up for Phil to his brother-in-law and showing off. Nice dash of humor. Good oices for them. Heh for Coulson making time his bitch. Cute with Phil trying to take down the photo of him in a Captain America costume. Awww also for Coulson being the coolest person Clint knows, the dangers of cuddling - and for Clint and Natasha to have claimed Coulson as "their" agent. Nice end.

if i reach out (will you reach back?) by stupidmuse_hatesme added 141112
Some special people, the Marked Ones, have stars on their knuckles - one, two, sometimes more. With these, they can do magic. Clint doesn't have marking on his knuckles. He has markings on his fingertips. They help him shoot in special ways. Natasha knows - nobody else. Not even Barney knew. Then he joins SHIELD. Coulson also has marks ... He kept their eyes locked as he lifted his own hands and pressed his fingers to Clint’s, dragging the calloused pads across the sensitive and tingling marks before he twisted their hands together, weaving their fingers around each other until Clint’s marks touched Phil’s and the energy jolted through them. Interesting idea, feels fresh, imaginative. An universe I'd like to read more in. Cute how Clint is captivated by Coulson before he even knows him. Coulson's powers are really cool.

Here's to Many Happy Returns by Ralkana added 141112
Clint finds out Coulson's birthday and decides to give him thing. He does. Coulson is happy with this. Can things turn even better? "This week is incredibly busy, and I'll probably be working late every night," Phil says, thinly-veiled frustration biting at the edges of his voice and Clint is staggered by the realization that Phil -- dedicated, workaholic, completely unflappable Agent of SHIELD Phillip J. Coulson -- is annoyed because his work is keeping him from spending time with Clint. A sweet story that made me smile and wish I had someone who would do nice things for me. Cute with the cafeteria serving Coulson's favourite food and all.

Phoenix Rising by msraven added 141112
When they first meet, Coulson isn't impressed by Clint. But as time goes on, they come closer and starts to trust each other - and they start a relationship. But not an open one, Coulson doesn't want anyone to know. Clint agrees, but later he realises he's in love with Coulson - and when Coulson doesn't even want to sit bside him when Steve sees, he decides that enough is enough - and break things up. Is it really over for good or could things improve? “I know you don’t believe me and I don’t deserve another chance,” Phil continues, “but I thought you were dead and I...I didn’t know how to live without you.” While, yeah, Phil was a bit of a jerk at times, which I normally would have really disliked, I did like this story. Several good lines. Aww for Coulson being the boogie man of mercenaries. I really liked Fury using Clint to weed out bad handlers. Another great detail was the Doctor Welsh, with Clint smart enough and good enough to draw even Tony's attention. Clint often gets portraid as illiterate, soneat to see him on that side. And nice of SHIELD to use him for the manuals too. Good flirtation between them. Nice dashes of humor, but also of angst. I also love how accepting his collegues are about the Loki thing: I think they should be prepared when strange things like that happen. Very warm and friendly atmosphere for Clint. Again nice with Tony's offer to Clint of work - I would almost have liked to see how that worked out for him too. Visual writing. Heh for the joint Avengers shovel talk. Good for Clint to stand up for himself.

The Darkling Thrush by gwynhefar added 141111
The mission went bad. Bad as in Barton died. when Coulson comes back to his office, he finds the ghost of Clint Barton on his couch and he knows he has to let him go to the light. Only ... if Clint's a ghost, why does he use the door to leave? Phil is absurdly proud that his voice doesn’t break because an apology is the least of what he wishes he could say to Clint. Lovely story, nice emotion and angst. Good lead up to why Phil acts so strange - and with a good explanation.

Guarantee by infiniteeight added 141111
The world is a few degrees darker. Fury has sunk his influence into the goverments of the world and rules SHIELD by lies, manipulation, seduction and blackmail. He has hooks even in loyal Coulson (a small matter of murdering some incompetent commanding officers). He wants Coulson to recruit one Clint Barton and secure his loyalty. They find Clint's weakness. Clint really gets off on killing people ... SHIELD has no problem with that. Neither does Coulson. Watch me sink an arrow into some bastard's eye socket, all the way up to the fletching, and sink your cock into me after. Dark and delicious. Very interesting AU that works well in one of those strange AU ways. I wouldn't want it like that all the time, but as it is, it was a nice change. I'd like to read more in this universe. Nice description of Clint using the bow. Also of Coulson's ruthless efficience about what they do. I would have liked to read what they do/did the first time Clint used the bow to kill. I also liked how Coulson, even in the midst of finding the missing Clint, still noticed a lot about his co-workers, evaluating, believable. Nice dash of humor too.

Beta by Morgane (smilla840) added 141111
Alphas are the leaders and achievers. Omegas are the child bearers and the Betas, well, they follow orders and are productive. Coulson is an alpha, if a very thoughtful and non-confrontative one. Barton, however, is a Beta. He's hiding his exceptional skill through the army - betas aren't supposed to be that good and it's not good to be noticed. Fury sees more in him, though - and later Coulson. Clint loves Coulson, but again - he's just a Beta. HE can't bear Coulson's children - he's not even built to take Coulson's knot when Coulson goes into heat. Still. Coulson loves him too. Is there any hope for them? But want and love were two very different things, and even if Phil thought he was in love with him, how long would it be until he realised playing house with Clint wasn’t what he wanted after all? Interesting take on the dynamics. sEveral good lines. Heh for Alphas trying to prove they "have the biggest knot". Good touch with having Fury be the recruiter and I really liked his and Clint's friendship. Also nice touch of Clint being there when Fury lost his eye - and that thing with Phil's suits. Interesting (but believable) about the prejudices of a beta/alpha pair. Good use of summarising parts of their lives, giving a good overview without going into unnecessary details. Hot too - and good description of the knotting. For some reason I really liked the bit about Clint telling Phil he's made sure Clint stays with him, with the knotting. The bit about it just being Tony and Steve and that all of them showed up anyway really made me smile - well written. I would have been interested in an in on the sexuality of Alpha women, as I got more or less the rest of it, but that was still a grey area for me.

An Agent of Time by Peapods added 141111
During the Time War his bland ruthlessness, his usefulness and his willingness to die for a cause made him a favourite of many generals. When Nick Fury sees the same qualities he's no less impressed and recruits him. They called him just The Agent - and he's an Agent of SHIELD now, his Time Lord power caught in a watch. Until he is stabbed by Loki. Now what? "I should warn you that since your first request that I accompany you, an arrow has been aimed at your head." Lovely idea for a crossover. Great with the Agent.Nice touch with the clock. Cool with the Aston Martin shaped Tardis. Heh about the vents as Narnia portals. Interesting take on the Docotr, slightly sad. Really nice with all the Avengers standing up for Coulson, I really like that scene. I also liked Fury's view of Clint.

Hail Hydra by tawg added 141016
One of the worst enemies of SHIELD, number 7 in the list of all time bad guys, is one Phil Coulson, scientist of Hydra. Clint keeps encountering him, though -and while coulson certainly is evil on occasion, he's not especially mad. Or maybe he is. He often ends up saving Clint - when he doesn't shoot him in the face - and Clint often ends up letting Coulson go. But Coulson really is an enemy of SHIELD and he really is evil. Will things work out for them? And does it still count as Stockholm Syndrome if you like the guy before he kidnaps you? “Neck,” Coulson ordered, and Clint tipped his head to one side obligingly, exposing the side of his throat, exposing any part of him that Coulson would care to take. Lovely WIP that I hope to see continued. Coulson's great as the evil, semi-mad scientist and he and Clint plays well off one another. Great humor. Good language. Several good lines. Sweet with Coulson listening to Clint over the comms. Aww for Clint getting trapped in the vent, I've been hoping for that in stories. I'd love to see this on screen, it'd be al ovely show. Lovely ad-libbing, like when Clint shot Coulson, so cute. Coulson still very much Coulson. Heh for him breaking into SHIELD wearing an AIM polo shirt. Awww for the bunnies. I want Clint in Coulson's army of three! Heh also for Coulson double bluffing Steve with the poison. I really like Coulson being efficient and unflippable, even if on the side of evil. Poor Clint, especially towards the end of the main story. I don't now what it says about me (especially considering Loki), but I really adored the bit where Coulson had drugged Clint to keep him obedient and Clint tried to take care of him and worried -awww ... The kiss was really, really hot. So sweet with how Steve and Tony captured Coulson, poor man - but lovely story that really had me smiling. Aww for the minion breaking into SHIELD for the bunnies. Heh for them asking Bruce as the expert on anger management. Icky with the eye pulled out thing. My absolutely favourite part though is Tony telling Clint they stopped reading his reports once he started drawing hearts in the margin ... I usually don't rec WIPs unless they haven't been updated in over a year, so I had been waiting for this one for a bit. Then I finally reread it and wrot ethe rec and went to add it to my rec page - when I saw it was now in a series with a new part (almost half a year old ...), "All Torn Down", which was wonderful too. Intense and very intimate without (almost) any sexuality, still very gripping. Great end. I still hope for more. Fresh plot. Aww for the image of Clint holding on to Coulson's leg. Good bantering. Very thorough way of claiming someone. Good detail with the surgical soap.

Paper Planes by B0WSandARR0WS added 141015
When Clint takes the train he ends up next to a man in a well-fitting, black suit. At first they clas a bit, but they become aquaintances. Maby they have more in common than they think - and maybe they can become more to one another. Clint's jaw hangs, about to say waaaaat, are you a mind reader or something, but the suit puts a finger to his lips and says simply, "Yes, now hush." Nice buildup, sad that it is still a WIP. would be interesting to read more. Some vivid descriptions. Nice voie for Clint. Cute with the coffee-sharing. Coulson cool as should be.

Corner Coffee by B0WSandARR0WS added 141014
Anette and George runs a coffee shop, Corner Coffee, in New York. One day, Clint comes into the shop to hide from Natasha. When he tastes The Coffee (a very strong George special), he's hooked. He and Natasha drags in Coulson and soon enough the shop is a favorite of SHIELD Agents. And then, before Shawarma, Natasha and clint brings the Avengers there. Tall, blonde and handsome, wearing the right costume, and the shield, Phil would be drooling right now; are you sure you’re not really Captain America? Warm story with nice OCs. I hope for a continuation for part 1 (the WIP), it was just getting interesting! Neat nick names. Especially cute with them thinking Steve's just a lookalike. Sweet with Natasha and Clint bickering. Some good descriptions.

Alphabet Soup by ceria added 141014
Clint gives birth to his and Phil's daughter, Angelica Barton-Coulson, a.k.a. Alphabet Soup. Six years later, she is often helpful at SHIELD, and much beloved by her "grandfather", Nick Fury. Nick fucking Fury stormed around the corner and swept the little girl into his arms, pink ice cream dripping all down his black uniform. Sweet story. Sometimes I like kid fics and Fury is oh so sweet with her. Cute with Fury being claimed by Clint for the "grandfather" title. Also cute with the agents being suspicious of the child at SHIELD.

Taking Things Slowly by KuriKuri added 141010
Clint's annoyed with Natasha for not believing that Clint and Phil are dating. Of course they are! Just because they haven't had sex yet (and had only kissed on missions when Coulson described it as "distraction/evasive maneuvers") and hadn't said outright that their trips to the movies and zoos were dates or told each other in so many words that they were in love. Natascha's clearly wrong. But what happens when Natasha tells Coulson of Clint's belief that they are dating? Phil even considerately left the window unlocked whenever he was home, so Clint didn’t have to force it open every time. Very sweet. I really enjoy this plot. Nicely built arguments (with all their careful flaws) and I really liked Phil's reaction. Nice dash of angst, but also humor. And I like stories that mix in Coulson's family, so that's always a bonus. Aww for Clint hiding behind Phil. Aww also for Clint waiting patiently for Phil to be ready to have sex.

Say I Love You When You're Not Listening by KALA added 141002
Barton and Coulson needs a quick reason for their presence during an op - so they get married. With their own identities, as they don't have time for anything else. Then, most significantly, neither of them hurries to gets a divorce. Will they eventually or will things work out in a different way? “I don’t want to make you do something you don’t want,” He explained gently, as if talking someone down from a rash decision, “but if this is real, you have to let me know.” Cute with the "accidental marriage" and doing things the wrong way around. Nice with the vows, I liked those. I also liked the description of how well they know each other. Hot too. Sweet end.

These Issues of Mine (They Know How to Shine) by raiining added 141001
When Clint was old enough to consider goin all the way, he had too much other things on his plate. And then he became an assassin - and sex was the furthest thing from his mind (not to mention likely to get him killed). Then Clint's recruited by SHIELD and at once falls in love with Coulson. Coulson shows no interest in him, though. Several years later, Clint's still in love with Coulson - and still a virgin. “I realize that just because we share an orientation, that doesn’t mean that you are attracted to me,” Phil hurried to say, putting up both hands. Well-built argument why Clint wouldn't have had sex. Coulson was also understandable. Good dash of angst, nice misunerstandings. Very sweet. The latter bits felt somewhat summerized: they worked, but would also have been interesting to read more like scenes. Some very nice lines. Good feeling between Clint and Natasha too. Awww about Clint falling in love with Couloson's eyes. Hot too. I like the mutual discovery. Poor Clint for expecting to get blackbagged but good.

A Laundry List of Trouble by Claire added 141001
Junior agents say a lot of things about Coulson. He's had his sense of humor surgically removed; he's a robot from the future, sent back to organise humanity into an apocalypse; he's an alien sent to study this human thing called "emotions" (he hasn't worked them out yet). Clint know that all of those things are not true. Some things they say are true, though. And Clint wouldn't have Phil any other way. He does deadpan like the deadest pan that ever panned the dead. Sweet and intimate, but with a nice dash of humor. Good selection of theories and rebuttals. Heh for him being a fan of Death. I also like stories with Phil's family and their reaction to Clint, so that was also good. Good characteristics of Coulson. Awww for the kitten, daddy's awesome little claw monster ...

Phil Coulson's Favourite Secret Birthday (so far) by FlatlandDan added 141001
4th of July and everyone celebrates Steve's birthday. Actually, steve's born in April, but Presidental decree changed his birthday. It's actually Phil Coulson's birthday. To give him time off properly, Fure fires him every year. So when Clint comes to celebrate his birthday with him, Phil is (technically) not Clint's superior. Has he misread Clint's signs? He wants desperately to have not miss read this, the years of flirting and barely skirted appropriate borrowing of clothes and changing of mission. Cute story that made me smile. And the book from Phil's mother really moved me. Good language. Aww for Clint knowing because he's CLint - and forgetting, for the same reason. I like the hint of "dating without realising". Good banter. Nice dash of angst.

Insecurities by Elvarya85 added 141001
Coulson is insecure. He has arranged hs life so that he's within his comfort zone. Which works just fine - until Barton waltz in and offers a date. But then one day he overhears Barton flirting with newbie agenst just outside Coulson's office. Does Phil have anything to worry about? Phil was just starting to wonder if he should mysteriously have them weeded out of the crop of baby agents when one of them, a bit too loudly, asked if Clint was busy Friday. Normally I love totally BAMF, secure Coulson, but just once in a while a more insecure version is sweet in contrast, especially in his relation to Clint. Intimate. Cute end.

Chase You Down Until You Love Me by psalmoflife added 141001
The Avengers are told that they have fans writing RPF about them. And RPS ... Their reactions differ. Clint is baffled to find while yeah, he's paired with Natasha and Darcy a lot, one of the most common pairings is him and Culson. He's amused by it, though, and starts playing up to it in public. And when he reads, some aspects of some fics sounds really appealing ... He had never seriously thought of having kids, certainly never with Phil, but reading about his supposed kids with Phil had him imagining what it would be like. Sweet story. As a long-time slasher I'm fond of the "RPF" stories of the Avengers finding out and this was a godo one. Heh for the "mutant peacock attack". Cute story with James, I liked Clint there. Hot too. Aww for blushing!Hawkeye.

Reasons to Stay by Flora (florahart) added 141001
Both Bruce and Clint suffers from nightmares. Maybe they can help one another? Also, a lotus flower. Bruce doesn't mean to nod because Jesus, no, it's dangerous for anyone to stay with him while he sleeps, but he wants the company and he wants a friend and he nods, and when he looks up, Clint's watching him closely. Nice story with good feeling. Good voices for both Bruce and Clint, but also Tony and JARVIS. I liked Tony in this one and his talk about fiendships. Good idea to sedate the Hulk through Bruce. Aww for them having three men (one hidden) on Clint when he practices - respect! I found it very sweet that Clint feels safe sleeping as the Hulk can stomp out any danger. Yay for Tony's Data remark. Heh for chidwipock. Interesting spiritual symbol of the lotus flower. Awww for Clint being able to talk down the Hulk.

Prison 'verse by arsenicarcher (Arsenic) and hoosierbitch added 141001
When Clint's brother kills someone, Clint took the fall. He got sent to prison - or Hell. He's routinely abused - in a very bad way. He's nearly feral and broken, when Neal Caffrey comes to the prison Neal obtains Clint's loyalty, but during his loyalty to Neal, Clint gets severly injured, basically cripped. When Clint finally is release he can find no work or a future - until Peter Burke puts him in contact with an old friend of his - Phil Coulson. But even if Coulson might be able to help him with his physical damage, Clint's still scarred from what happened - and he doesn't know in which way Coulson will want his payment. Really, as protectors go, one Agent Phil Coulson is a pretty sweet deal. Normally I don't like darker stories much, but on rare occasion prison fics are a weakness of mine - plus that the crossover sounded like a lovely idea. And the story is dark, yes, very much so, but it's dark in a way that really makes the pyaoff beautiful. Strong and tear-worthy, with lovely angst and nice emotions. Vivid images. I underline interesting information when I reread a story to rec it - I was up to well over 200 in this one, among the highest ever for me. Nice White collar story too, soemthing I find too little of. Good image of Neal and I think Clint's right tha tNeal could be very, very dangerous. Aww for Neal trying to take care of Clint and Clint' sinterpretations. I would love to read more in this universe. Aww for the ice cream. Nice rawness without getting too dark - it perhaps "should be" (for me, that is), but it worked. For some reason I really liked Peter's interactions with Clint - not to mention the lovely visit by Elizabeth, Clint was so cute with her. Good use of White Collar canon. Poor, pooor Clint, but so good with Coulson later on. Cute with Clint wanting to correct spelling and grammar on signs. Yay for SHIELD's unconventional surgical opotions - cool with the tech in his hands. I liked the other Avengers too. Awww for Clint reacting badly for waking up on Steve. Aww also for the way Clint tries to take care of Coulson. Clint and Steve were also very cute together with Steve being "safe". Great idea about Clint's neck tattoo. Aww for Clint telling Neal that Coulson hadn't been using him to relieve his stress. Sweet with Clint's care package to Peter and trying to help him. Heh for Tony and Clint as partners in crime.

A Hawk Needs a Home by Greggles_Lestrade, LadyFayte added 141001
Clint is satisfied with his life. Natasha challenges him to try to find things to change to makke it even better. Phil finds him and they talk about it. The prospect of a relationship is brought up, but Clint has some unexpected things to explain to Phil regarding his past relationships. How will Phil react? "You got yourself a happy bird, Coulson." Nice set-up with a nice dash of angst. I would have enjoyed a scene of Phil sending Natasha head hunting. Sad in bits, but sweet angst. Aww for Clint being happy about having claimed Coulson. Clint's very sweet in this one. I enjoyed the story up to the end, which I don't dislike in any way, I just don't understand Phil's unhappiness. Also the author ntoe apologising and urging to go read a happier fic and asks for hugs and crying. For me the end was - until I read that part - very positive and hopeful and possibly it'll take a bit until they have total bliss, but I thought they were doing great, considering Clint's limitations.

Mission ID: CH041 by so_shhy added 141001
Hydra's latest plan is to take over the North Pole, forcing the elves to make guns and then have Santa Claus deliver the weapons in his magical sled. Clint and Phil finds themselves in Santa's workshop, able to communicate with the ohters only by way of magically appearing fireplaces. Will the Avengers save Christmas? Captain America knew about Phil’s hopeless, pining, unrequited love affair with his asset. Nice crack with vivid images and good feelings. Neat touch with the magically appearing fireplaces. I liked the description of the North Pole. Heh about the Subordinate Clauses. Lovely angst. Heh also for the Hulk liking the elves. Yay for Clint's shot to save Santa.

Clint and Bruce (Hulkeye) by cakeisnotpie added 141001
Clint's in a love triangle with Bruce and the Hulk. Theirs is a warm, loving relationship. Also adventures with invading elves, ones past coma back to haunt them and much, much more ... “I, Clinton Francis Barton, take you, Robert Bruce Banner, and you, the Hulk, to be my husband for better or worse, in sickness and health, for bigger or smaller as long as we all live.” Long, sprawling relationship, difficult to summarize, but with plenty of good details, angst and humor. I really liked the Hulk part of this: his view of things and how much he loves Clint. SEveral long, nice, interesting stories. Cute with Hulk giving Clint a life, share his food and so on. I really liked when the thugs tried to threaten the restaurant and Clint and Bruce/Hulk deals with them. Sex with a bit o'Hulk was unexpectedly (fro me) hot. I'm normally into Barton/Coulson, but this series worked for me and I was very pleased with the handling of Coulson in it, even if he's not part of the pairing. Good bits about the others in the team too Cute with Steve letting Tony chase him. Good dashes of humor. I felt a little sad about Robert, I liked him when I first read about him. Awww for Clint teaching Steve about flirting. Good plot devices, such as the lipstick both to assassin and to take out the assassin. Aww for insecure Hulk when he's separated from Bruce. I like Clint with powers of his own. Good for Hill to stand up for Clint. Cute with the small stories within the story when they're caught by Gabriel. Heh both for the Princess Bride and the Jane AUsten. Some good story telling techniques. One of my favourite bits was when they went on the run together: unexpected and sweet and it worked. Another favorite part are the events of the NY battle from Hulk's POV, it gave a nice image of him. Good use of both Clint and Bruce's pasts. I liked how Bruce, knowin gonly that Clint needs to go, goes with him, no questios asked. Heh for Tony being king of inappropriate cocktail talks with villains. Yay for Clint borrowing the Hulk's powers. I'm fond of Herne, so that was neat. I also found it very sweet how the priest insisted on talking to the Hulk separately.a

Presence by theFrogg added 140924
Phil died and Clint mourns him. He's close to suicidal. He sits out in the snow too long and when one of his team mates help him back in and to bed, he hallucinates. Instead of his team mate he hears and feels Phil Coulson. He manages to get the team mate to stay with him over night. What will happen come morning? "N-never s-said I, how m-much I l-love you, s-sir, I know you c-can't--" and he chokes it off on a sob, shoulders heaving as he can't hold it anymore, too exhausted, hurting too much from the fading cold and the suffocating grief that hasn't lessened at all. Nice angst, I liked it. Good description of Clint's grief and disorientation. Good and with feeling.

Proprioception by visiblemarket added 140923
Clint's a very tactile person. How handsy he and Phil are with one another weirds people out. However, then Tony catches them touching and accuses Clint of leading Phil on. Obviously, Clint needs to reconsider things. What will he do? Clint's expression goes from gleeful to panicked to full of righteous indignation then cycles between all three as he drags Phil around and shoves him back into his desk chair. I liked the feel of Clint and Phil together in this one, intimate without being sexy to start with. Coulson's so cute when high.

The Whole World Is Moving (And I'm Standing Still) by theladyingrey42 added 140915
Phil Clarkson is not well. He has these headaches and compulsively folds paper cranes. While he doesn't remember all his dreams he dreams of being Phil Coulson. One day, Clint finds one of the cranes and realises that maybe Coulson isn't dead after all. But why would Fury go to all that trouble of keeping Coulson away from the team? And why does Coulson's vision sometimes flood with blue? He's careful to telegraph his movements—he's reckless but he's not an idiot, and Phil is still a walking nuclear bomb—as he gets all of his body up against all of Phil's. Imaginative, lovely story with many good details. Poor Phil. Aww-worrthy and moving. Yay for Phil being a bad-ass even when he doesn't know who he is. Cute with him expecting an arrow, even though he doesn't know why. Good touch with the cranes, that worked well. Good use of Tony in this one. Good writing technique, nearly poetic in parts (without it being too much). Neat with Agent 13 (I know very little of the canon, so no clue there, but nice touch how Phil's subconscious tries to alert him). Vivid descriptions of Phil's powers. Strong story. I really like Super!Phil and this was very nice to read. Lovely angst. A universe I'd like to read more in. Good full circle with the coffee references. Lovely end, well formulated. Good dashes of humor too.

Canon by sabinelagrande added 140915
Clint and Phil are in a loving relationship. So why does Hawkeye RPS fanfictino involve some guy named Mike? Phil needs to know, in case he has to shoot someone - or leave Clint. But does he really have anything to worry about? Who is this "Mike Hawke" really? And what happens after Loki, when the fen notices that Hawkeye isn't accompanied by a man in a suit any longer? "It didn't strike you as odd that in almost all of them, I get injured and have to be rescued by an unassuming, silent man in a suit?" Cute story that made me smile. Aww for Phil being jealous. And yay for canon in all its wonderous shapes and forms. Good voice for Clint especially. Heh about the S:\ drive. #MikeLives! Poor Clint - nice description of his fannish activities. Aww for involving Sitwell for the candid picture.

An jenem Baum, da jedem fremd, aus welcher Wurzel er wächst by arthur_177 added 140815
Loki happened. Phil died - and Clint mourned him. Until Thor shows up with a letter from Valhalla. And on a Halloween eve, Clint visits Valhalla. When he leaves, Phil orders him not to look back ... Why? Fury doesn't reassign him after a week, the handler doesn't object to always being Agent Fitzgerald, never 'Barton's handler' or 'my handler', and Clint buys him a drink or invites him to lunch for putting up with all the unspoken implications that Clint is prepared to work as an asset for other agents, but his handler has joined the Einherjer at Odin's table and he will not take another till his dying day. Good use of mythology, classic story told with a good dash of angst and humor. Poor Clint. Good use of Thor. Cute with the ravens. Aww for Coulson's problem with the lack of coffee in Valhalla: a great problem indeed!

Phil Coulson: Fanboy by Signe_chan added 140730
Coulson is a big Captain America fan. More than that, he's one of us, having lived through the classic stages of fandom. After his original discovery of Captain America, age 14, he soon joined the official fan club, then heard about conventions, visited one, found out abot fan-zines and slash, joined UseNet, made friends, wrote fics, then moved on to mailinglists and LJ. Phil is, in the best sense of the word, a BNF. Of course, his fan family doesn't know about the Avengrs. And the Avengers certainly doesn't know he write homoerotic porn about Steve. Will his two worlds collide? I find that in real life I prefer my heroes sarcastic and hidden in ceilings. Cute with Phil likening his relationship to Clint with work following him home. Strong story, easily envisioned and the strong lure Coulson has for me has always been his one-of-us status, which is adorable, so I can very easily envision something like this. And I really felt for him, poor man. Sweet with Rose sending him care packages in the army: I can well imagine fellow fen doing that. Good use of fandom and on likely reactions to finding out both superheroes being real and one of us hiding something huge like that. Nice dash of angst, poor Clint too. Yeah, missing a convention on account of being dead would suck ... Aww for Phil's story with Hawkeye and the OC SHIELD agent, lovely touch. The thing that resonated most with me is the feeling after the first meeting/con of not being alone. I remmeber that well and for me that was huge. Par of me would have loved to see Rose meeting Steve for the first time at the wedding too, that would also have been interesting. Yay for a Tony Stark budget for the wedding.

For I will always stoop to his lure by shovel_bunny added 140730
One night Barton is unexpectedly transformed into a hawk. As it turns out, he was always a hawk, only transformed to human shape. This is the start of a classic quest to see if the Avengrs can regain their lost team member - and Phil Coulson the man he loves. Barton bends his neck to nibble very gently at Phil’s fingers and then begins to run his beak through Phil’s hair. Nice, classic story build that works well. Interesting angle to the transformation thrope. Good use of Allspeak. Aww for Clint preening Phil. Cute with sleepy Tony - I would have loved a take-out of pillow!Coulson for Tony, just because the cuteness of the image. The birds really didn't give Clint a fair chance, bad of them. Good search quest. I especially liked the dragon and I'm glad it worked out for him. Feels fresh and imaginative. Aww for Clint wanting to go back with Phil even if he forgets his life as a human. Nice detail with the nanotech working harder and with better result therefor.

Hawk!Clint by infiniteeight added 140730
Loki strikes again. This time he gives the Avengers animal-like qualities. Tony becomes more like a hummingbird, Steve like a dog, Bruce like a rhinocerous, Natasha like a snake and Clint, well, Clint turns more like a hawk. Gradullay, though, they go back to being more and more human - except for Clint, who remains hawk-like. What now? Phil steps in front of him, clamps one hand down on the back of Clint's neck, and covers his eyes with the other. Interesting transformationstory with several good details. Good choice of animals. Heh for Fury using Clint as a measure to see if other agents can work with him. Awww for the sharing food gesture. Heh for the Twilight thing. Nice dashes of humor, hot too.

Never Miss a Cue by infiniteeight added 140730
Clint never had anything that was just his, but he always wanted someone who belonged only to him. Coulson giving him a personal card with his home phone number as part of trying to recruite him is the start of a story of how Coulson becomes Clint's own. And Coulson--Coulson, who never let anyone see him sweat, who juggled the myriad tasks of mission command without a single hesitation, who once took a bullet to the gut and reported "Agent down" so calmly that the medics didn't realize he was the downed Agent until they arrived--came apart under Clint's hands. I normally prefer a more dominant Coulson and Clint belonging to him, if anything, but this is one of the very few; if any, stories in which the reverse worked well for me. The explanation works and turns the story almost sweet. Good emotion; hot too. I really enjoyed the Clint to the rescue with Coulson telling his captor he already belongs to someone. Yay!

Mission Reports by raiining added 140730
Phil never wanted to be a superhero, though he always believed in them and loved them. He collects Captain America, but when he realises that Clint is a superhero there is nothing he can collect. So he collects Clint's mission reports. How will Clint react when he finds out? Captain America would always have a special place in his heart, but Hawkeye was quickly becoming Phil's favourite superhero. Aww for Phil referring to Clint's history as his 'origin story'. I like this version of Phil, very geeky in a nice way. Awww for him feeling bad about his heroes adopting him, even if he deserves it so well. And how they act with him later. And for how Clint shows off for him. Clint is so sweet, hiding in Coulson's ceiling.

Losing Sight of the Shore by casspeach added 140730
Freyr sends his blessings onto the son of Coul. Unfortunatelly, this takes the form of what esentially amounts to alien sex pollen. Coulson needs to have sex. The team gets him back to the tower, where he hides in his rooms. Barton breaks in to help. Will Coulson let him? And what will happen then? "And the reason you like me best," he continued, because he didn't want to actually hear Coulson say he'd've rather Steve was here—for various reasons, none of them important right now, "is because I am a proper SHIELD agent, with an appreciation of the necessity of protocol, because of which I can tell you that I am now invoking Directive 1582, section three, clause D, subclause iv—otherwise known 'fucking Asgardians'—and relieving you of your command." A trope I really like, well executed. Interesting use of Fryer. Good on SHIELD to have a protocol, even if they should have thought matters through some more. Sweet of Tony to offer to go out and get a rent boy. Good angst. Hot too. Nice emotions. Cute with the files, both the 281 and the mission reports later. Awww for Coulson leveraging with Fury to get Clint. Nice handling of the concent issues.

The Cephalopod Who Loved Me added 140729
When Clint joins SHIELD, Coulson's been missing for a year. During a mission, Clint comes across a strangely intelligent, communicative octopus. It turns out that a villain with dreams of sea domination has turned Coulson into an octopus. Now what? But what interests Tony more than the Coulson is an octopus thing (he’ll get to that later, don’t worry) is the fact that Barton is currently staring at that octopus like it hung the fucking moon and then proceeded to cover it in a sub-gravity archery range. Interesting idea, imaginative and fresh. Cute with Clint's attempts to communicate with the octopus. Aww for Phil the Badass Octopus. I liked all the rumours about Coulson. Yay for Coulson to the rescue, even in his octopus state - heh, and nude! Sweet dashes of both angst and humor. Aww for Coulson inking himself. Neat version of fix-it. Good crack. I really liked the "Agent Coulson doesn't believe in luck. Luck believes in Agent Coulson." - yay! Poor, poor Clint with Natasha and the hentai.

High Low by LadyDrace added 140729
Barton has a considerably higher sex drive than Coulson. They make things work anyway. Phil will give Clint a blowjob or a handjob whenever he has the time. In return, Phil can have Clint whenever, wherever and however he wants him. But one day a horny Phil comes home to find Clint deeply asleep. What now? Just because he was horny, and for one time in this relationship had to ignore it, didn't mean he should take leave of his senses and molest his boyfriend in his sleep. I like stories with uneven sex drives and how the situation is handled, so this was interesting to read - and well handled. And I seldom see somnophilia in fics, so that was interesting too.

Costumed by BonitaBreezy added 140729
Barton celebrates Halloween at Phil's parent's place. Dressed out children comes and goes. But then comes a child who is dressed up as his hero - Hawkeye ... The kid’s mother was staring at him, like she was almost positive she knew who he was but not entirely sure. Sweet. I did like Clint's history with Halloween, good build up for the story. Nice emotion. The story is enough by itself, but I'd love to have seen more: the child finding out and so on and so forth. But then, I'm always greedy for more when something makes me go awww ...

(three words) and goodnight, indeed by micketysplit added 140729
After Loki, Coulson's alive - but on the really good drugs. He hallucinates, thinks he sees Barton come to him and talks to him. Coulson talks back, and tells Barton what he really thinks of him. But then he's no longer on the drugs and starts thinking that maybe he hadn't hallucinated after all ... If this was real, Clint would have every right and reason to refuse, but this isn't real and so Clint must kiss him. Sweet story. Cute with Coulson knowing from which area of the ceiling Clint usually comes through. Coulson's so cute when he's high. Aww for no one falling into rooms the way Clint does. Heh for Coulson's ongoing feud with HR. nteresting hos Coulson resonated with Thor. And the lolcats also made me smile.

An Eyeless Face by Not_You added 140627
Hawkeye was born without eyes. He befriended a being and helped it. In return, it gave him eyes. Not just his human eyes, but a number of eyes: eyes of a hawk, eyes of a cuttlefish, eyes of a cat, that he can change between as needed. How will others react when they find out? How will Coulson react? He blinks hard, and his whole eye pops out of his head, landing like a boiled egg in his palm. Nice, imaginative story with an enjoyable touch of Lovecraft. Good emotions. Very useful ability with the yes. I liked the unknown being, works very well. I'd like to read more in this universe (but I'm always greedy). Nice dash of humor too. Goo dend. Neat with the sensual sensitivity to the eyes.

Of Signs and Erring Stars by windsweptfic added 140624
AU WIP. Clint's pimp sells him to a strange group of customers, inclugin Baron Zemo and Black Mamba. They perform experiments on him, building up his body and strengthens him. They also have him brutally used by Avenger look-a-likes. Then one day the Avengers crashes their operation. Their presence terrifies Clint - all for the unassuming man in a black suit. But since Captain America himself does the man's biddings, maybe the man's more dangerous than them all? Rogers radiated power, and you didn't command someone like that without wielding significant power of your own. Interesting and I'm sad it's discontinued, as it held considerable promises for a nice build up and it would have been neat to see where it had gone. Gritty and dark, but in a good way, which is rare for me.

Falling With A Purpose by Meloenijs added 140624
For their unofficial two year anniversary, Clint asks Phil to move in with him. Things might have gone differently if Phil had been aware of that it was their two year anniversary. Or, indeed, if Phil had been aware of that they were in a relationship to start with. Looking further than that top layer though, Clint found a man with a gentle smile and the nicest calming blue eyes. Cute story that made me smile. I like Clint's view of Phil's possible reasons for them not having had sex yet. And I have a soft spot of "unaware relationships". Nice pressies Phil got.Heh for Clint climbing the buildings and circling Coulson. Aww for the offered Captain America shrine.

Valhalla Blues by PlotDothOh added 140618
Coulson's in a loving relationship with Clint. Then Loki happens. Coulson dies - and goes to Valhalla. Where heroes and warriors drink and feast and fight all day - day after day after day, for all eternity. Not just those who die in battle, but all worthy. So while it might not be Phil's idea of a perfect heaven, he knows at least that Clint and their friends will join him eventually and all will be well. Except ... something is rotten in Valhalla. People doesn't care about the loved ones they left behind - and don't care when said people die and do come to Valhalla either! Phil sets out to make things right - with unexpected, worldchanging results. In a sudden and atypical display of passion, he adds, "And I would burn the branches of Yggdrasil, tear apart Valhalla brick by brick, and go to war against the gods themselves, to get him back." Very interesting world, neat adventure with Valhalla and a very inventive story that kept me guessing and entertained. Good feelings between Clint and Phil. Interest description of the process of dying. Good dashes of humor, like the Top Secret String Quartet and the Babel fish reference. I liked the image if Valhalla, apart from the Lethe. Really neat with the Source. Nice OCs. Good trial with classic set-up and execution. Very good use of Peggy. Neat detail with the adoption. Good solution for the Valhalla problem and all very fitting. Several good descriptions. Heeh for the Goddess of Small Firearms and Reasoned Insubordination. I liked the ending. Poor Thor trying to explain to the Avengers that Valhalla is actually real.

Building Skyscrapers in the Basement by GilesFarnaby added 140617
They've brought the Hulk in and want to check a tranqualiser on him (with his permission). They need Clint to shoot the tranqualiser. In preparation they make him sit in on a talk about the Hulk. The talk is rather boring. One of the good things is the nice scientist sitting next to him, who seems to appreciate Clint's snark. But who is the scientist really? Phil kicks him in the ankle (Phil is the only person in the universe to wear hard-soled, steel-capped, shin-length combat boots under a suit, ready for anything) and jerks his head - just the tiniest amount - in their general direction. WIP, but cute story. One of the rare non-Coulson/Barton fics I've liked. I hope for more eventually. Good snark between Clint and Bruce (though between Clint and Phil too) and good dfeelings. Nice humor. Lovely with Tony planning emergency excuses several days in advance, that really had me smiling.

Made Omega by infiniteeight added 140612
Coulson is an alpha. Clint is a beta, though, so while Coulson might want him for his omega, there's no use wishing for that. Until Loki comes along and makes Clint into an omega. It's only two weeks to his first heat and now what? Clint makes gorgeous, breathy noises as Phil's knot grows and it's perfect, it's everything Phil ever wanted, and he would say that this couldn't possibly get better, except then Clint wets submissively. I got bored with the whole A/B/O thing very quickly, but I still try the stories for a few select pairings. I'm very glad that Coulson and Barton is one such pairing, because this was one of the very few such stories I've enjoyed. This set-up sounded interesting and it also delivered well. I liked the differences between omegas and betas in terms of scenting and attitudes. Smell is often an underrated scent in writing fic, so this was a nice change. Lovely connection between the two and I like how Phil was taking care of Clint. Nice use of Tony and I like the touch of him working for omega rights. Several good lines and descriptions. Good on Steve for offering. Aww for Phil wanted beta-Clint, treating him like his omega, and temporarily worried that it might all be his fault. Heh for him using Lola.

My Tiny Plastic Heart In Your Hands by Ralkana added 140612
The Avengers get a box of action figures of themselves. Clint gives Phil a copy of the Captain America one for his collection. But he also gives him a Hawkeye, hoping for Phil to want it to his collection as well. But he doesn't see the little Hawkeye again. Did Phil throw it away? Clint is ecstatic that the arrows are launchable until Bruce points out they're a choking hazard, only to promptly get a little plastic arrow to the nose, courtesy of both Hawkeyes. Sweet story that made me smile. Cute with the Avengers playing. Aww for Clint wanting to be treasured. Cute angst. Good end.

Black Snake Moan by House_of_Ares and vampirekilmer added 140611
Coulson suffers from blackout rages, during which he goes into berserker mode. Sometimes it has been useful. His last episode was a long time ago, but now he and Clint are in close proximity and Clint is working on Coulson's last nerve. Will either of them survive? And it doesn’t matter that his boss just went berserker on him - but that there’s pitch black eyes staring down at him, a hand at his throat, a sticky gag in his mouth - and he’s already half hard, hips stuttering against the pressure above them. WIP, but strong story with possibilities. I hope for more of it, to see the outcome of what happened. Good description of sinking into battle trance. A bit gritty, very primal, rough and kinky, but still interesting and hot.

The First Time Phil Stayed by AdamantSteves added 140610
Phil never stays the night. Clint really wants him to, but Phil never does. What Clint doesn't know is that Phil is afraid that if he stays the night he'll fall even harder for Clint and it'll hurt so much more when Clint leaves him. Not to mention he's not a pretty sight in the morning, which he thinks will put Clint off. But what will really happen if Phil does stay the night? Even these last few months felt like borrowed time, as if Phil was the one who’d put Clint under a spell and it would only take something to knock him on the head and Clint would realise he’d made a mistake. Sweet story with a good dose of double angst, which I like. Nice how Clint catalogues Phil's faces. Heh for Coulson "Coulsonising".

Caught In Deather's Shadow by coffeebuddha added 140602
At 25, Nick Fury found a book with spells in his favourite used book store in Harlem. He wasn't sure why, but he bought it. 13 years later, Hydra is overwhelming and he needs help. So he performs a spell from the book to bind death to him - and Death comes to him, in the guise of an unassuming man in a suit. But Death isn't quite as under Nicks' command as Nick thought and one day it's time to pay the rest of his debt. Only ... why is Coulson suddenly trying to get Barton to eat pomegranade seeds for him? It had to be the morphine, Clint knew that, but in that moment he would swear that Coulson's face flickered, an impression of a skull interposed over his face and deep, empty sockets where his eyes should be. Lovely idea that I really, really liked. Yes, I could see Coulson as Death and Fury doing somethinglike that and of course spells are tricky things. Awww for the thing with the pomegranade seeds - just so classic and great. I would love to read more in this universe. Heh for Nick flipping a coin in the end. Heh for the breathing thing - and for the thing with the Captain America costume.

The World Belongs To Me by saddle_tramp added 140602
AU in which Clint goes with his lover when Phil visits Stark. Clint and Tony goes well together and when Tony nearly kills himself, Clint and Phil are there to save him. From there a different Avenger team develops: a tight, loving family with Clint and Phil in the center. But Fury is not to be trusted and the road will have many surprises ahead. Tony hadn’t had many close friends in his life before he met Clint, really just four that he didn’t build himself, and knowing that he had Clint and Phil in his corner, both ready and willing to help him when he needed it, made his world a brighter place than it had been in a long time. Interesting universe, very nice to read in. Fresh feeling in the developments. I liked the hint of submission to Clint, though the way many characters felt necessary to catagorize it felt a bit blunt. Good dash of humor too. I really liked Jarvis' role in this one. Nice feel between Clint and Phil. Sad with Fury, but makes for a good story. Since Clint hadn't been fucked by a man before I would have liked to read more about that, but I'm kinky like that. Several good lines. Aww for Phil sleeping better with Clint's pillow in his arms. Sad with Rhody's attitude too, in the start. Neat with the Stark's Laws over Asimov's. Heh for War Machine's AI named Jeeves. Cute with the 'Lost Star' and Phil's eagerness on hearing of it. Lovely story with Steve - and heh for him finding Clint in the ducts, that made me smile. Very nice team spirit. Cute T-shirts too. I liked the info of Jarvis' backup systems, good detail. Yay for Steve being Fury's equal in authority during war, another great detail. I'm usually not much for threesomes, but Steve, Bruce and Tony was really nice together. Another good touch was letting Phil use the armour - lovely. Nice story line also with Bucky and I especially liked it being in non-sexual in nature, his bond with Steve, but Bucky still being accepting. Aww for Dummy adoring Phil.

Children of Loki by Evander added 140602
Jormungandr, Fenrir and Hel escaped from Asgard and now live among the humans in their human guises - a.k.a. Fury, Coulson and Darcy. And then one day, Thor arrives ... It causes a growl to start, low and deep in his chest – too low for human ears to catch, but enough to make the people next to him take an inadvertent step back as it crawls along the edge of their senses and terrorises the deepest parts of their brains. Very interesting set-up and I would have loved to read more stories in this universe: Clint finding out that his lover's Fenrir would have been lovely. But nice as it is. Heh for the dog jokes. Loki as their mother threw me a bit (I'm used to Norse mythology), but it worked. Good feeling between the siblings. Interesting for Coulson to see only in monochrome, good touch. Sweet how annoyed he gets when Clint jokes about rooting for Thor.

Phil Coulson Knows Tony Stark's Super Villain Name by scifigrl47 added 140602
Tony's pretty sure he could conquer the world if he wanted to (though he'd probably have Pepper run it for him) - and SHIELD agrees. They have a special plan (involving Steve) in place, should he ever become a super villain. That day haven't come yet. However, Fury feels they need some exercise, so it's Iron Man vs. SHIELD - will anyone survive? And who will win? And which side is Steve actually on? Step one of any evil plot: kill Coulson. Cute story that made me smile. Good voice for Coulson especially - and good that Tony knows how to prioritise when taking out enemies. Heh for Tony's supervillain plans and name. And, yes, he would make a great super villain. I like Harris. Good humor. Heh for "the Stark side". And also Steve's action. Good use of Bruce. Cute with Mr Fantastic (the Roomba) trying to get closer to Steve. TOASTERVERSE.

Haunted Heads by Tawabids added 140530
Macintyre has developed a mind controlling device. Only it needs to be inplanted int he recipient and they don't have a good way to do that from a distance. However, the world's best marksman could do it easily. In return, Macintyre promises Clint what he most desires: Coulson. A willing Coulson who will love him forever and without questions. Will Clint be able to resist? Or is it already too late to say no? “I would die before I so much as touched his hand without knowing he wanted it.” Interesting possibility with good feeling, nice dash of angst but also humor. More would have been nice, but then for me I always want more of a good set-up. Interesting with the epidermal micropships too. I liked Clint's short description of how he got away from Macintyre. Awww for Bruce covering his eyes.

Hooded by Mikey added 140522
Clint gets attacked by welder's light and develops photokeraltitis (arc eye or snow blindness), as blisters form in his eyes. He goes blind. Most often this is a temporary affliction, but sometimes it can be permanent - and Clint was subjected to very strong lights. Will he remain blind - and, if so, is there any place for him at all, with SHIELD. Or with Coulson ... Clint would have sold his soul to open his eyes and see Coulson next to him, but he knew his soul wasn’t worth that much, so he stayed still. Good story set-up and lovely angst. Fitting title. I know little of snow blindness and found it interesting to learn more about it. Powerful description of Clint's pain, poor boy. Good feeling between Clint and Phil. Interesting with the 20/20 vs. 20/4-figures. I enjoyed Coulson's confidence of Clint, even as blind. That might also have been an interesting stroy, but I'm glad how this one worked out. Nice description also of Clint's feelings for Phil. Good how the other Avengers support Clint. Neat massage, that sounded lovely -hot too. As is Phil later describing everything in detail. I did like the way not the entire process was shown in detail, that would have been a bit much.

Paperwork is love by Infiniteeight added 140519
Tony gets suspiscious when he's told that not only does Clint turn in his paperwork in actual time, but it's the best paperwork of any SHIELD asset. Is something going on? And why does the tips of Clint's ears blush when Coulson praises the paperwork? He does it because he's crazy in love with you, and he wants you to smile at him and tell him he makes you happy. Awww, so sweet. Yes, paperwork of that quality is love for sure. Cute story that made me smile. Good use of Tony. Thor's version of paperwork also cute. Heh for the Colossal Cicada Caper and for Tony not being a discreet person - and for the "mating display" comment.

Conviction by Sinope added 140515
Coulson isn't a man who lets a small thing like death keep him from his rightful place as an agent of SHIELD and lover of Hawkeye. Coulson died - really died. He was reincarnated as PJ, Hawkeye's biggest fan. PJ grows up, goes to school in NY and there, he finally meets up with his destiny. Now if he can just convince Hawkeye to give him a chance. Meeting Clint Barton's eyes when he was ten years old and clutching a photo to be autographed, and seeing his hero stare at him with so much emotion that PJ couldn't begin to untangle it, and knowing that he wanted to curl up next to Hawkeye and never ever leave, just to clutch onto a fragment of that emotion -- maybe it didn't make him gay, either, but that was when PJ knew. Nice take on this plot, with good feeling and a nice final solution/plot twist. Aww for Phillip J Coulson memorial Park. Nice version of Coulson and feels in character. Poor Clint in the beginning. Aww for Phil being the greatest hero of all the Avengers. Several good lines. Yay for PJ turning his undercover to the most lucrative drug trafficking business in the Midwest, that made me smile.

Long Range Reconnaissance by shell added 140515
When Clint learns that Coulson died, he almost breaks. Steve confesses to him his own relationship with Bucky. They find out that Fury lied and they get Coulson back. And then Natasha remembers the Winter Soldier's name. Will they be able to get Bucky back as well? "I don't know how a wife would feel, but if you want to ask my husband how he feels about it, he's right over there," Clint said, pointing at Phil. Good emotion. One of those long, nice universes that is involving and is just a nice read. I'm mostlya Coulson/Barton-girl, but I enjoy other pairings when they show up in their stories and this was a nice one. Sweet story between Bucky and Steve and how they got together. Bad Bucky going for the kissing practice line. I like Jarvis always near Tony. Good teamwork (and nice that Jarvis is included). Nice dash of humor too. The cellist thing never gets old. I greatly liked the friendship between Clint and Steve. And yes, I bet Steve's hugs are brilliant. I really liked everyone helping out when the Council tried to make Coulson the skapegoat. Heh for FBI in awe of SHIELD's training range. Yay for Clint helping Bucky and wow for him showing off his shooting. And bad ass Coulsonin Clint's defence. Good resolution to Bucky's dilemma. I liked Tony's voice. The Coulson/Clint part of the story was beautiful and sweet. Aww for drugged Coulson - and Coulson finding "Mystery co-worker" hotter than Captain America. Good angst. I like stories with Coulson's family.

Be Calm, Look Cute by pollyrepeat added 140515
Coulson gets transformed into a 16-year-old version of himself - with no memory of his more recent past. The Avengers come for him. Then Cint gets transformed too. Will they be cured or will they remain their younger selves? And will their attraction for one another come to fruition? A man skids into view, and the small part of Phil’s brain that is not preoccupied with shell-shock makes a mental ticky note in the “hunk” column before noticing that the guy is holding a bow and has a quiver on his back, at which point it gives up entirely. Young Coulson is adorable. Good handling of the plot and a good resolution. I wouldn't have minded if Clint's concern tha tthey'll go back to their teenage selves' resepctive time period with memories of their future either, with the possibility of them getting together once Clint's time period comes along, that was also a great idea with considerable possibilities that I'd love to read as well. But the story such as it is, is good too. Good dash of humor. Yay for 16-year-old Coulson meeting with Captain America - very sweet! Heh for the lingering physiological side effects.

Say It by infiniteeight added 140515
Clint wants to get a reaction out of Coulson, but fails. Then he realises that Coulson is attracted to him, so he teases him, using that. IT's jsut a ploy, but one day when Coulson does react Clint finds himself in well over his head. But is it all bad? And when I'm done," Phil goes on, "when I'm done fucking you, when this op is finished wrapping up and everybody goes home, you're going to come home with me, and you're going to strip down and crawl into my bed and spread your legs for me and I'm going to take you there, where I've spent too god damned many nights jerking off thinking about you." Lovely. A very good take on a very difficult subject. I do like a touch of dub-con and while in real life I'd never find that someone deserves to get in over their head, but considering the outcome and that I could see Cint getting in on something like that, it was believable and apt. Bad Clint. I would have liked a sequel. One of my favourites in the gnere. Normally I'm not all that keen on dirty talking during sex, but it worked in this case. Very hot too. Good ending.

The Gift of Idunn by shell added 140515
So, Loki happened. Loki stole Clint, who killed Fury and Hill - and then Phil had to kill Clint. The citauri invaded and the Council nuked Manhattan, killing off all the other Avengers. And now Phil is the acting director of SHIELD. But in the weapon vault, Phil finds a strange device, which relocates him to another universe - a universe slightly different from his own (and more familiar to most readers). One important difference in this universe is that Clint wasn't together with Natasha: the Clint of this universe was married to one Phil Coulson, killed by Loki in battle. Now what? "No matter how many times Tony explains it to me, I just do not fucking get how there could be a universe out there where I don't fall in love with you." Interesting storyline, works well and nicely executed. Several nice details. Good voice for Phil, like how he allows himself timed grief. I especially liked the difficulties in integrating him - he wasn't just met with open arms as if the Phil of this universe had returned, their differences were well described and handled. Easily visualised story - and some rather nice images, at that. Heh for an alternative universe bieng a logical explanation. Poor Phil, for the guilt of what he had done, even if might not have had a choice. Aww for Steve bringhim him cards. Another detail I liked was Thor's reply to Tony contradicting Thor's story of the apple: very good and suitable. good use of Bucky. Good take on how in control Clint was while in Loki's thrall. Interesting turnaround point of hteir relationship. I liked the way Phil (and Clint) used the interrogation to gain information like in the movei with Natasha - good detail. Nice angst in the backstory with Coulson and the other world Clint.

It's Too Big, I Can't Take It! by AdamantSteves added 140515
Clint keeps asking Coulson about his cock, speculating about it. Finally, he teases Coulson too far - and Coulson not only shows it to him, but fucks Clint with it over his desk, despite the cock's daunting dimensions. Only afterwards does he realise what he has done. He got a thrill just watching Coulson go about his day in his little everyman suit, with his everyman face, knowing that underneath that everyman mask there was a really big dick right THERE, and no one knew about it but him. This was an unusually difficult story for me. Not due to the heavy sex or semi-non con issues, but because while I really like a lot of the aspects, there are some character issues that jars me. Normally when I don't like parts of a fic, I simply don't rec it, but in this case the rest of the story carries enough that I still like it, so I will rec it anyway. What jars me is the rather porny dialogue in primarily the first part. I'm not a prude: I've read slash for several decades now and I do like to read hot and heavy on occasion, even dirty talking, but this twigged me as a bit porny in a way I found out of character for men of their respective ages in the circumstances. Yes, it's labelled as crack, but I love crack stories, I just feel they don't excuse OOC behaviour: for them to work they should still be in character. Both Clint and Phil could benefit from a bit of general sex education regarding how STDs spread. Also I did note it was not betaed, which is a shame, I think the story would have benefitted considerably from a good beta. I can see Clint trying to push Coulson until he snaps - that's a great idea and I could even believe the way Coulson snaps. Clint acted immaturely and Phil's reaction was a bit much, but mostly the language pushed it a bit too far for me. On the other hand, I found several details in character, such as Coulson taking exact notes on Clint's references to his penis and numbering his fantasies (and so many of them playing out!). The story has a good foundation, good basic plot. Interestingly, I enjoyed the told bits more than the shown bits, which is rare. Several humours parts - heh for Coulson's dick being "Mjolnir sized", among other things. And I did like the angst a lot and the sweet misunderstandings. While I have no experience in overly large cocks I found the descriptions of Phil's problems believable and interesting.

Say My Name by storiesfortravellers added 140515
Clint is hit by a magic spell. Every time someone says his name, he orgasms. This is not fun, especially when Tony and some of the others start to abuse this. Finally he has to ask Coulson for help. Then he discovers that he now can't orgasm unless someone (else) says his name - not a good situation either. Finally, he has to ask for Coulson's help again ... Despite everything, despite how much he trusted the words that Coulson said, there was that hint of fear, terror really, that everything would fall apart once they didn’t have that physical necessity, once they didn’t have the incantation of Phil’s voice giving him everything, giving Clint’s body back to him and claiming it for himself all at once. While I do have a bit of trouble seeing Steve letting the others get away with this - maybe not even Bruce, I liked the set-up of the story. Yay for bad ass Coulson to the rescue. Heh for Tony's replacement words for 'Clint' afterwards. I also liked the structure of the story: how it was built/the writing technique. Hot too, when Phil and Clint's talks progress. Nice touch of angst. Good end.

Pool Therapy by Mikey added 140514
Clint was hurt and put on physical therapy, including pool exercises. So he goes to the local YMCA/SHIELD hang-out. What he doesn't count on is finding Coulson there - or how hot Coulson looks in his swimming outfit. He also knows his weaknesses, which is why he manages to catch himself before doing a header into the water at the sight of Agent Coulson climbing out of the pool, water shedding down him, light glistening off of his wet skin like a thousand daggers to Clint’s libido. Pool Babe Coulson was a bit unexpected, but certainly a nice image with plenty of potential. I liked SHIELD hanging at YMCA, that really amused me - and a good idea, workable. Heh for Clint comparing relearning his bow with marathon sex. Good description of Phil. Heh for the spank stash of office supply catalogue-notion of Clint's. Good voice for Clint. Aww for everyone seeing Clint being led into the pool like a baby duckling.

Avengers by projectoverlord added 140514
Clint is presumed dead and Coulson mourns him. In fact, Clint is very much alive and shows up as usual. Coulson then shows him how much he was missed. Barton pulls up short, opens his mouth to ask what's with the stop, and finds he's rather preoccupied with Coulson's fingers curled into his shirt and Coulson's lips grazing his own. Cute story. I like a touch of angst and Clint homing in on Coulson's office like a pigeon even if he's in a bit of a bad shape.

I Know This Much Is True by kellifer_fic added 140514
Coulson's twin sister is arranging a birthday party and she wants him to come home for it, even though their cousins will have a field day with him still being single. That's when Hawkeye drops in (literally) and tells her that Phil's boyfriend (i.e. Hawkeye) will accompany him. So, they go back to Coulson's home town with Clint undercover as Phil's lover. Will they be able to fool anyone? And did Clint have any secondary motives for his willingness? Won't it shut them up to bring home a hot, semi-famous guy as your main squeeze? A trope I enjoy, nicely done and good resolution. I also greatly enjoy stories about Coulson's family and this one felt nice and natural. Good adlibbing between them. Cute nickname for Coulson from his family.

Have A Good Time by sabinelagrande added 140514
It's Phil's birthday. As his present he gets Clint. Which would be Thursday, as they've been together for a long while. But to make things more special, Clint gives Phil a different version of himself: a younger, unexperienced, virgin version of himself. It might not be real, but it's damn hot. Phil finds the lube on the nightstand, putting it into Clint's hand, and Clint stops, looking at it, looking up at Phil wide-eyed. Nice idea, well executed and, yeah, hot. I do have a bit of a kink for first time sex, and this was a nice make-belief, including the bit of persuading the skittish virgin bit, that was nice. If it had been a real virgin!Clint story it might have been a bit skeevy, but this way it was a sweet read.

H-943; or The One Where Phil Gets Hit With Sex Pollen by raiining added 140514
Coulson gets contaminated with sex pollen and when he gets to his office, Clint's there, so Coulson kisses him. Clint has sex with him, but when Coulson looks at the security tapes later on, Clint's not touching him more than necessary, so he concludes that Clint was just helping out a friend. Was that all it was? And will Coulson be able to look Clint in the eyes again? Not only has he now outed himself to the object of his four-year long crush in the most spectacular and embarrassingly way possible; but he now has proof, saved forever to his hard drive, that Barton has absolutely no feelings toward him that aren’t strictly professional. Good trope. Nice with the numbered fantasies and nice angst too. Awww for Coulson having a crush on Clint for so long. And for him keeping the tapes. So cute with Clint trying to be there for Coulson the next time the pollen is moved, just in case ...

Fault by projectoverlord added 140514
So, Coulson dies. Clint mourns. Then COulson's back. Clint's not about to let him die again without declaring his feelings - so he kisses him. Only later does he find out that, apparently, Coulson was in love with a cellist ... Just someone good with a bow. Sweet story that made me smile. And I do have a soft spot for cellist-misunderstandings.

Dyxlexia 'verse by hoosierbitch added 140514
Clint joins SHIELD, but he knows it'll only be a short while before they find out how dumb he is and kicks him out. But when Coulson finds out, he doesn't think Clint is dumb at all. Clint is dyslectic and Coulson sets out to help him. It's not easy, though. And then Clint finds out that Coulson's a homosexual. Brought up by a bigot father, Clin'ts initial reaction isn't good. Will things get better? The only thing Clint’s ever wanted more than he’s wanted words is Phil Coulson, whose name he cannot spell. I know little of dyslexia, but I found the description here believable and the various techniques descrbied very interesting. Poor Clint ... Good emotion. I really did feel with/for him. Nice angst. I really liked the touch of homophobia and Clint wrestling with the problematics thereof. While the story isn't non-con in itself, the tiny bit of Clint considering repaying Coulson, keeping their deal "steady" after he finds out that Coulson is gay, that was nummie. I would have liked more closely see how they actually came together after that (before Clint ran away), but then, I'm always greedy for such details. Aww for Clint stealing the things he needs when he can't fill out the forms.Heh for his view of the reject letters of the alphabet. Another cute detail was Hill seriously considering Clint's crack about Coulson being replaced by an alien doppelganger - and SHIELD having procedures for this (even if Coulson wrote most of them). Aww for coulson being Clint's first date. Good use of Fury in this one. I like this talk to Clint. Good dashes of humor. Sad about Barney. Good fix-it. This was the first story I read that intersects with Agents of SHIELD and the Tahiti magical place reference made me smile, also went well with the hints of "not quite right". Very sweet in parts.

Flying Haggard by House_of_Ares added 140325
Clint acts out after the abuse suffered by Loki. Phil decides to call him on it and give him help in a somewhat unorthodox manner. Clint has a problem with choices, so Phil takes them away from him and controls him completely, hoping that one day he'll be able to release his hawk again. Will the approach work - and will Clint let him? They all know he’s weak and only here because Coulson likes to fuck him and they’ve probably all heard his slutty moans and Tony, at least, Tony and Banner in the lab, they can see it all because of JARVIS and they give him those looks and they’re mocking him when he’s not around, poor Barton, he’s such a bitch that he gets freaked out and needs a cock in him, and he can tell even Natasha knows and hates him for what he’s become. I'm a bit unsure to the rehabiility method as such, but seen as a pure fantasy I found it hot and I firmly believe that Clint could have gotten away if he had wanted to. I did like the manhandling and submission, ut when it came to the sex I'd like to have read more from Clint's POV as it came a bit easily for their extreme situation. But then, I'm rather vanilla when it comes to such things. It would have been interesting to see how the relationship develops in the long run. Strong the bit with Loki and I did like the first time Clint went to Coulson's bed, in the dream of Loki. Heh for telling the psychiatrist his name isn't Phil. Good voice for Tony. Aww for Clint not being allowed in the duct work. Also for Coulson willing to eat pigeon for Clint. Good use of Thor. Cute image of Clint on Coulson's lap. Yay for the Avengers standing up for Clint.

Moving easy by Luthien82 added 140325
Coulson and Clint are sent undercover as a couple to a prestigious high roller gay club for the elite. There, they have to persuade the patrons of the club that they are really lovers. Clint is very happy with his assignment. He got to grope Phil Coulson without any repercussions, that was a pretty sweet deal in his books. Cute set-up - and very hot when they make out. Undercover as gay is always a cute thrope. Author wrote no sequel, but it would sure be nice with one ... Sweet deal indeed.

Guide You Home by Misachan added 140325
Ever since Coulson's funeral Clint's been seeing Coulson - and hearing him. It gets more intense, though, when Coulson says things so typical Coulson yet would never occur to Clint. And then Coulson tells him things about himself that Clint doesn't know, only for Clint to later realise they were true. What is going on? "What if they have an EMP?" Clint heard him say, and it only took a quick glance at the blueprints Stark and Banner were gesturing over to see that yeah, that would be a problem of the "members of the team falling to their deaths" variety. Nice fix-it and awww for Coulson getting embarrassed when he finds out that he hadn't been dreaming it all. Heh for Coulson and Fury betting on Clint. Poor Coulson. I went awww at the quiet-commend and asking if he can stay, so sweet.

A Conversation I Will Never Have by ceria added 140325
Fury is tired of Coulson coming to him after his relationships have gone south. He makes clear to Clint he never wants to have such a talk due to Clint. "I really like the phrase 'till death do us part," Clint admits and meets Fury's gaze, his expression as steady as his aim. Aww, sweet with Fury being protective of Coulson, I like that. nice threats too. Nice dash of angst in the beginning.

An Acceptable Loss by RandomSlasher added 140325
Three months after New York, Coulson wakes up in a hospital - alone. What's more, there has been no one there to visit him for all that time. He uses one of his known aliases and his apartment haven't been sold, it's just that no one seems to have cared he was wounded. Slowly Coulson reevaluates his place in SHIELD and with the Avengers. Apparently he has wastly overestimated his own worth. His love for them was, apparently, one-sided. But is that really the truth? Whatever illusion of friendship he’d allowed himself to harbor, it was just that: an illusion. Lovely angst with a good resolution. Aww for sure. Also, several good lines. Nice dash of humor too. Poor, poor Coulson, I really felt for him. Interesting to see the more vulnerable side of him. Good touch with Clint seeing him and, I presume, thinking him a hallucination. I liked the touch with the fern, though I almost expected to see it later at the tower. Neat with the questions they give him and all the good things they say about him. Goo duse of Thor. Heh for Tony kissing him - and angering Clint. Good image in the end with him and them all.

Philophilia by second_skin added 140317
After a mission, Cint stays behind with Coulson when Natasha leaves. Coulson's got it in his head to take Clint on a picknic at the beach. Coulson loves the beach, has a topophilia for the beach he explains. Clint, on the other hand, feel most at home with Phil (and Natasha). Will he make it through the picnic without making a fool of himself? And what does Phil really feel for him? Say the word, Clint, and I swear on the patron saint of crossbows and Nick Fury’s good eye that I won’t ever mention it—or try to touch you—again. Warm story. Clever with the title. Nice background on COulson. Nice dash of angst too. Sweet the picnic and the massage and all. Aww for Clint being so nervous and sweet. Several nice bits of Clint enjoying Coulson's nearness and touch (even when mostly platonic). Awww for the "When in doubt, listen to Coulson" - words to live by!

One Tie, One Kiss by Sunnyrea added 140317
Disaster strikes. On interrogating a suspect, Coulson break three of his own fingers - and now he can't tie his tie. Hawkeye to the rescue! Clint lifts up Coulson's injured hand and bows exaggeratedly over it. Just so sweet with Clint making Coulson blush - and the knuckle kiss made me go awww a little. Sweet end too.

Assume a defensive stance by hoosierbitch added 140311
Clint and Bruce is in a relationship. Clint is a bit socially awkward and he can't accept Bruce's compliments easily, even if Clint really loves him. Then suddenly Clint withdraws sharply from Bruce and when Bruce confronts him, he wants to break off. What has happened? “I’ll still—I’d be okay with still being friends, if that’s something you want,” Clint says, his eyes flicking up to Bruce’s and then away. good emotion and nice angst. Yay for Bruce hitting Steve. And bad Steve! He really deserved that. Aww for Clint having been happy with Bruce and then thinks Bruce was just being nice to him or something. Awww ... Heh for the "birds and the Hulk" talk. And I like the image of Clint as social awkward, reminds me of myself.

We'll Cross That Bridge When We Get To It by rubygirl29 added 140311
Clint is captured and held in isolation for a couple of months. He isn't seriously hurt, but once SHIELD rescues him, he's developed a case of eremophobia (fear of loneliness). Luckily, Coulson doesn't mind having him around. His expression, half-hopeful, half-embarrassed, makes Phil's chest hurt. Interesting idea with the phobia. A bit sweet too, I liked it. Aww for them sleeping together, even if mostly platonically, I liked that.

Mission: Matchmaker by infiniteeight added 140311
Clint is easily annoyed and short-tempered. They figure out why: he's single. Something must be done, so naturally Fury gives Coulson a somewhat unusual mission: to find Clint Barton a boyfriend. Of course, Coulson always succeed in his missions, but ... maybe to find a good boyfriend is much harder (or much easier?) than Coulson thinks. I have spent most of the last couple of dates thinking more about what I was going to tell you afterward than about the guy in front of me. Awww ... Interesting predicament and neat development for the two. Heh for Fury getting the balls rolling - both times. Interesting possibilities with the difficulties for Clint, especially with the Hawkeye groupies. I liked the portrait of Phil too. Nice dash of humor - and even a hint of angst. Yay for Clint having a better ass than both Captain America and Thor.

Heartaches and Hellfire by morganoconner added 140311
Set in Supernatural universe. Natasha and Clint are demons who has escaped to Earth. The king of Hell are trying to get them back, as part of marshalling his forces. They have no intention of going back, but they're forced to tell SHIELD the truth. How will the Avengers react? And how will Coulson? Clint and Natasha block their ears when Phil reads the exorcism in goddamn perfect Latin that Clint should not under any circumstances find sexy as hell. Nice idea. The crossover works. A universe I'd like to read more in, it has good protential for other interesting stories and development. I liked the backstory to Clint.

Film Studies, or, Four Films About Captain America and One By Him by Copperbadge added 140311
Five films about Captain America, with him or by him. After Steve disappeared they made films about him. Tony tells him and later Steve watches with Coulson. Some of Steve's old movies show up - including one where he fights Syphilis. And then Tony starts filming one himself about the Avengers. Oh, and there's a porn movie too. Now, let's go back in and not think about why Coulson would want a Captain America costume, okay? Good idea with the film setting. My favourite part is how Steve finds out about Phil and Clint, so sweet. good feel. Awww for Tony adopting Bruce (and Clint wanting to be adopted). Interesting with the Noir movie with Steve.

Salted Caramels by Sinope added 140311
What do you call a guy who can deep throat an arrow? Clint, apparently. Coulson gets an eyeful when Clint shows off a trick learned at the circus and possibly it's the start of something, but they still have some way to go. Phil can practically feel the moment that the arrow's head lowers into Clint's throat, and the complete lack of gag reflex that it implies is painfully arousing. Some neat details. Heh for some of Clint's more unusual skills with an arrow ... I really liked the "sex pollen" episode, I have a weak spot for those - and well handled by Coulson. Nice dash of angst, which I like. Hot too. Heh for many of Phil's sexual fantasies starting at the archery range. Heh also for Tony admiring him in the field suit.

Ohana Means Family by TheColorBlue added 140311
Bruce Banner is in a relationship with Tony Stark. The Hulk, on the other hand, is in a relationship with Clint Barton. How will this work? Well, what he wanted were things he couldn’t say out loud, because these were not the things you were supposed to want; no normal person anyway. Interesting set-up. Good emotion. I especially liked the touch of angst when Hulk turns into a human version of himself and thinks the others might prefer him so. I seldom like Clint in other pairings than with Coulson, but this worked well for me. Nice interaction between Bruce and the Hulk too and with how Hulk lets Bruce out more and more. Good dash of humor too.

Whatever You Need by knittyknicker added 140226
Tony is given a rather odd mission - to hire a male escort. Things makes more sense when the escort turns out to be Loki. As a punishment Loki was given to the Chitauri - who tortunred, burned the magic out of him and brainwashed him. He's now convinced h'es not fit to rule or to do anything but serve. Tony hires him as a consultant and he falls into a relationship with Tony and Steve. What will Thor think of all this? And what will Oden? For a while they are silent, and just as sleep drags Tony under, he hears Loki murmur, “So that's what it feels like to make love,” and just like that, sleep is a distant memory. I rarely go for threesome stories, but the twin strengths of Tony and Steve gave a good balance for Loki. I also liked the story idea, which felt fresh, and it has several good details. Sounds like something Oden would do. I didn't quite get how Loki managed to fool the monitoring equipment with Adventure Time without magic, but he's most resourceful - or was it Tony? Nice with Phil knowing his norse mythology (I'm ever so slightly home proud of it). Tony's defence speech was epic, yay for the return of the merchant of death. Yay for Phil saving the day. And yay also for Thor taking a stand, I liked him in this one.

The Nesting Habits of the Wild North American Barton by sabinelagrande added 140226
Clint isn't a bird, but he still likes close, cosy nests where he's safe (though he's okay with Phil knowing where they are). But the Helicarrier is hell, as it has no good spaces at all for him. He can't sleep. But maybe Phil has a solution? Before he drifts off, he scoots forward and wraps his arms around Phil's legs, hugging the hell out of him; the typing stops, and just for a moment, Phil runs his fingers through Clint's hair. Very sweet story that made me smile. Awww-worthy. Good humor. Also good description of sleeplessness and how you feel when you've had too little sleep. Sweet of Phil to fix with Clint's kindle for him, even when Clint types hiis reprots in Windings. Heh for Clint considering taking in to a hotel only to sleep in their closet. Awww for the future nestings too, .very sweet. One of the universes I'd like to read more in.

Leave The Light On by hitlikehammers added 140225
Coulson's dead. So when Clint, dead tired after a mission, forgets this and heads to Coulson's office to unwind, only to realise at the last minute and yet see a light on in said office, he's furious. How dare they let someone else use Coulson's office? So he storms in. What does he find? So, rage: rage is what he runs with, indignant, violated—how dare anyone take Phil’s office, not now, so soon; how dare they try to replace a man like Phil Coulson, the most irreplaceable human being in the whole goddamn world, Clint’s sure of that, because of the way he walks and the pitch of his voice and the calm in him with all that bubbles beneath the surface, and the color of his eyes when he’s tired, and the strength of his grip as he’s bleeding out and still pulling Clint’s battered body through the Hungarian countryside, running on adrenaline and sheer fucking will: you can’t replace Phil Coulson. Nice description of strong emotion. It resonated with me as it made me remember my grandmother's death and how I sometimes very carefully did not call her old number (though I remember it to this day), in a strange efeling of how horrible it would be when she didn't answer and how horrible it would be if someone else did, yet a tiny little thrill that she hadn't "not" answered yet, even if I knew oh so well she never would.

In Like A Lion by GilesFarnaby added 140225
Phil was dead for two minutes. Then he spent a month in a hospital. This had some unexpected side effects. Most of them were negative. His suits not fitting quite right, for one. There are some good effect too, though. Apparently Clint missed him a lot. Fury told me what he did and why and I tried to punch him and got my ass handed to me and spent a night in a holding cell and yelled at Captain fucking America and the richest man on the planet about what selfish pricks they were, Dr Banner, the goddamn Hulk's alter ego, spent forty minutes patting my back and telling me to calm down while I cried all over his lab coat, and Natasha said that if I didn't do something about this, she would. Sweet story with nice details. I loved the suspenders and Clint so sweetly correcting them for him. Aww for Clint wanting to stay with him even if they can't be active yet. Good dashes of humor. Heh for the "lizard in a tie"-thing.

Five Ill-Conceived Valentine's Day Schemes and One Perfectly Romantic Gesture by laceymcbain added 140225
Valentine's Day for one reason or another does not tend to work out well for Phil in terms of what happens with the Avengers. Dressing Clint up as cupid, fine, but having him shoot love arrows at SHIELD agents might not have been all that well thought out idea, considering what happened earlier. And who told Thor that it was a tradition to give away hearts at Valentine's Day perhaps should have been a bit more specific what kind of hearts are given away. And so on. But maybe there's one Avenger Phil wouldn't mind a bit of personal Valentine's Day time with. And one Valentine's Day, Clint Barton shows up in Phil's office ... The truth of the matter was Agent Coulson would rather have Barton on a rooftop with a bow and arrow watching his back than have Clint on his back in Phil's bed; he'd never allowed himself to imagine the possibility of having both. Aww for Tony blaming Steve's puppy face. I have a very weak spot for sex pollen stories, especially ones like this, when the strong feeling is there, but is overwon. Nice dash of both humor and angst, good feelings. Yay for Phil cancelling Valentine's Day.

5+1 Avenger Times by cruelest_month added 140225
Sometimes Clint isn't an awesome boyfriend, but sometimes he is. Sometimes Phil is an awesome boyfriend, but sometimes he isn't. Here are five stories in which Clint is an awesome boyfriend (and one he isn't) - such as letting Phil go on a play date with Steve, trying to get Phil to go to the doctor and go to a con with Phil and so on. And five times in which Phil isn't an awesome boyfriend (such as sending Clint on a fake mission so Phil can redecorate and generally obsessing about Captain America) - and one in which he is. If anyone had told Clint he’d love someone enough to dress up like Captain America, he’d never have believed it. Sweet stories that often made me smile. Both boys well in shape and the stories told with a good dash of humor. I also liked the connection between Clint and Thor (and Bruce). And the way Clint and Phil celebrates their anniversaries.

Tap Out by BeBunny added 140128
Coulson decides that Clint needs a new sparring partner - himself. Clint does as told, but when Coulson wrestles him to the ground Clint has a very obvious reaction and flees. Will Coulson ever want to work with him again? He doesn’t say anything as he grabs his bag and heads straight for the door but he knows Coulson is far too observant to have missed the very definite bulge in his sweatpants. Poor Clint ... But it appears to have worked out nicely for him. Vivid, especially the fighting scenes. I liked the comparison of 'Sir' to chocolate in Clint's mouth. I liked the little dash of angst of Clint thinking this alienated him from Coulson.

Competence by Noxnoctisanima added 140128
Clint has a thing for people who do their job well. SHIELD has many such people Coulson isn't surprised when Clint gets interested in him, so he plays it cool, thinking Clint will soon tire. But Clint stays and Coulson enjoys having him around. Will Clint realise this? The first worrying sign was that he found the lurking in air vents endearing rather than the truly creepy habit it was. Cute story that made me smile. Aww for coulson giving Clint more paperwork when he flirts. Some good lines for such a short story. I would like to have read more in this universe. Probably wise of Coulson to wait things out, yes.

The Quiet of the Fall by gwynhefar added 140120
When Phil is about to die the only thing he regrets is not telling Clint that he loves him. When he doesn't die, he does tell Clint, only Clint at first refuses to believe he's serious. Clint eventually gives in. On the other hand, when they tell Clint that Phil is dead, Clint refuses to believe that too. This time, he prevails. Phil says nothing for a moment, just staring at this man standing in front of him who is trying so very hard not to look like he’s about to have his heart ripped out - standing there waiting for Phil to tell him that he was right, that Phil hadn’t been thinking clearly earlier, and to thank him for stopping them from making such a huge mistake, for being so very understanding about it all. Lovely angst and I like two-sided pining, so that was nice. Very good feeling. Several good lines. Also good assemble-fic. People well in character. I could easily visualise the scenes. Nice to see the Avengers to protective of Coulson. And I also liked Clint's dedication when he refuses to give up and keeps looking and the sudden way he fiends what he was looking for. Aww, poor Clint, fearing he hallucinates and all. Storng when Phil hears Clint coming and thinks he stll might be Loki's Heh for Heimdall keeping an ear on them. Other nice dashes of humor too. Yay for the Avengers Declaration of Independence and Phil's reputation in SHIELD hitting legendary proportions. Fury had a reason and a plan, but I think he might have overreacted a bit. Interesteing setup for the prequel story with the clone and all.

Safer Sex by toestastegood added 140113
Bruce and Clint have finally worked their way up to Bruce fucking Clint. Unfortunatelly, that makes the Other Guy show up. He also wants Clint. Yeah, Bruce and Clint really need to have a safer sex talk. If Bruce hulks out, there’s going to be a very ugly Clint-shaped splatter left on the bed and not a lot else. Oh, poor Clint ... Poor Hulk too. But it worked out well enough and the story made me smile.

In The Middle Of Your Picture by TheCheerfulPornographer added 140108
After a mission Clint needs to calm down from the intenseness of his sniper concentration. Normally he does that well away from the others. Circumstances forces him to compress in a different fashion than usual and Phil overhears something he shouldn't - and when Clint come to him for debriefing Phil has a very important decision to make. And he'll freak out about it later, he knows that, but even that's okay really because Coulson gave the order, Coulson made the first step and all he had to do was say "yes, sir", and my god how is the man so perfect, how does he understand? Hot. I do like a bit of sub-Clint. Nice bit of angst too. Nice with how Coulson helps Clint with his concentration. I liked how neither Phil nor Clint was able to view each other's faces before teh fact. very good with Coulson keeping track of everything with his spreadsheets, note books and lists. Several good detals, such as Clint being able to shoot off the reflection of Coulson's shoe. Coulson not being in control would be scary, especially for Clint. Sweet how Clint wants to please Phil. Another nice touch wa sClint's shot rating system. Bad Coulson for listening in, but it worked out well in the end.

Story Time With Thor by shadowen added 140108
An epic story of Gilgameshian proportions of how the Realm-Walker, Phil God-Defier, that bravest Son of Coul, cheated death itself to return from Valhalla, to reunite with his most beloved warrior, the fair and valiant, faithful Clinton, called Barton, the greatest marksman of all of Midgard. As told by Thor Odinson, to the children of the Avengers. In parts, it's probably even true. He told the dour goddess of his beloved, fair and fearless Clinton, called Hawk-Eyed, called Avenger, whose aim and heart are ever true and whose love is like a blade to cut through all despair, fierce and sharp as the finest sword. A joy to read, lovely turns of language, both from thor's telling of the tale, but also for the bridging parts with the children. Good humor and a classic epos in style. Though I hope Clint's little trick (I adored his attitude to Fate) does open up for them to go to Valhalla i the fullness of time, for future legends.

Lunch by Chase added 140108
When Clint realises just what Coulson has to pay for very meager lunches at the SHIELD cafeteria - and why Coulson doesn't just bring lunch with him from home - he takes the matter into his own hand. Soon Coulson's lunches are the wonders of the SHIELD lunch hour. Today, as the crowd of agents holds their breath for Coulson's famous lunch, the senior agent smiles, pulling out a little tupperware container of lemon and asparagus risotto, a cellophane wrapped cucumber and dill sandwich, and a baggie filled with sliced fruits. Very cute, it made me smile. Nice food - and they do say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach ... (well, or through his ribs, but still ...) Very thoughtful and good end too. Cute as always with Clint hiding and earsdropping.

Starbucks Can Suck It by fuckingimpala and miss_music666 added 131230
AU in which Clint owns a coffee shop. One day a Coulson, Phil Coulson, stops by. He starts going through the massive list of coffee options Clint offers (including some with caffeine tablets), intent on finding the best one. Clint is very happy about this, as he likes Coulson a lot. He wants to ask Coulson out and and then an opportunity arise: an art gala - perfect, since Coulson is an art curator. Or ... is he really? And how will the date go? Is Coulson even aware of that it is a date? “Look,” Phil said, sipping his coffee, “Yeah, he’s adorable, he’s fantastic, really, but he’s a barista, Maria.” I have a fond spot for coffee AUs. Nice touch with Clint suspecting Natasha's in witness protection. Neat names for the coffee options. Nice bits of angst and lovely misunderstanding when Clint overhears Coulson talking to Hill. Cute off with Thor and Loki. Poor Clint with Coulson being a somewhat unreliable date ...

5 Things About Clint's Love Life by uofmdragon added 131230
In his life, Clint loved five women - for different reasons and with different outcomes. He also loves one man. Clint gets it suddenly: trick arrows, because he has no use for flowers, missions that challenge him, which are more interesting than any movie out there; dinners during debriefing. Nicely structured story. While I like reading about the set-up in the first part -and very sweet with Date Night and Coulson's little "courting" of Clint, so very sweet! - my favourite part was how the Avengers stood up for Clint against the sniper girl, very satisfactory.

Bleed the Hours by ObsidianJade added 131230
When Clint hears about Phil's death, he doesn't react much. But when it is all over, he goes to the range and starts shooting. An arrow a heartbeat. For 52 hours ... Keeping his eyes closed, he tried to roll to his side, wanting to curl up and pretend the world had stopped existing the way it should have when they’d told him Phil Coulson was dead. Nicely written story, good technique, well held-together. Also good emotion and I like the end. Cute with Tony's reaction. I did like the touch of the blood being Fury's, also the nanotech regenerators. And the Loki not exactly being a challenge for Barton-line made me smile.

The Barton Family by KuriKuri added 131227
Thanksgiving tradition in the Barton family is that all the brothers get together for a week. With a +1 option for people that each Barton brother considers family. After that their parents died in a car-accident, all brothers were sent to an orphanage. Most of them were adopted away. Both of the eldest brothers went to England - James to the Bond family and John to the Watson family. Of the identical sextuplets, Jason and William was adopted by the Walsh family (later William took the name Brandt), Brian to the Gamble-family, William to the James-family and poor Aaron was taken away. The ninth brother (the one they never speak of) and the last of the sextuplets, Clint, ran away to the circus. This year Clint is hosting the thanksgiving feast, as he has the entire Avengers Tower to put people up in. Perhaps he should have asked Tony first. Or told the Avengers about his brothers. And then there's the matter of Clint holding the Barton brothers record of having pined the longest for his man: 7 years and counting Clint has been in love with Phil Coulson. Is a change on the horizon? And what does Loki want? Sorry for being such a creeper – I just had this overwhelming urge to kiss you, but I knew you wouldn’t like that so I waited until you were asleep? Major crossovers like this are tricky: most of them will turn silly or just won't work or are so slanted they become uninteresting. This one does work and I enjoyed reading it. Good emotion, nice interaction and several good lines. When I read in my kindle I underline good parts and the main story got an impressive even 100. My only problem was Benji not knowing what Thanksgiving is, due to being British: dunno about that: I'm Swedish and "everyone" knows of thanksgiving. Oh, not in detail or anything, but of the concept as such and certainly the name, so that threw me a little. Unless he's just pretending. But awww for him being so in awe of Tony. Cute with the ongoing joke about Jason's cooking and Brian's eyeliner. I haven't seen SWAT or the Hurt Locker yet, but I look forward to. Aww for the whole Aaron thing when he was a child, so sad. I would have loved to see the Avenger's reaction to the powerpoint presentation (nice touch). Aww, so sweet with Clint getting jealous of Phil would like one of his brothers better. Many nice details. Another one was when a brother threathened a potential suitor of another brother, that really made me smile. Lovely angst between Clint and Phil. Nice sub-plot with Loki, nice touch about the apartment and the familiar smell. Classic with true love's kiss, very nice. Heh for Sherlock asking for corpses. I really liked the sub-plot with Jim and Brian, I found that very sweet.

In the middle of a fight involving Loki and giant wolf-creatures, a doppleganger of Clint shows up. William Brandt is in town, accompanied by Ethan Hunt. William and Clint are not related. Unexpectedly, though, Ethan has a close relative amongst the Avengers. “I’ll agree to stop showering in acid if you agree to stop walking in it to get to me,” Barton countered with a grin that could only be described as shit-eating, leering down at what were clearly his boots on Coulson’s feet. Well-written, humorous story with several good details. I like the descriptions of the differences between Clint and William. Cute with Phil in Clint's shoes. Aww so cute with the Hulk and his nicknames for everyone. Good voice for Coulson especially. The LMD-joke with twin fantasies made me giggle out loud. Nice feeling and working crossover. Cute with the killing people with everyday office supplies and Clint getting hot from Phil's skills. Sweet dash of angst between Steve and Tony. I'm a bit envious on Tony's no-sleeping streak, the most I've managed would be about 50 hours. I really like Clint in the vents - and sweet of Tony to fix them up for him. Nice touch with Clint being their second best quick tactician.

Indiana Jones and the Agents of SHIELD by coffeesuperhero and sabinelagrande added 131220
Two separate stories. In the first Clint likes to makes costume and dress up. He looks good with a whip. Phil looks good in a suit. In the other an undercover mission reveals unhidden talents of Phil, also involving a whip. They have their kinks, but they're also very happy. He's trying to articulate how he feels, how impressed he is by Coulson, how mindblowingly hot that was, how much he wants to do it again, how connected he feels they are at this moment; of course, what comes out is, "I really want to suck your dick right now." Phil's costume really made me smile, lovely touch. the cosplay kink part was cute. I rarely like BDSM stories, but sub Clint works for me. I don't know much at all about BDSM really, apart from what I've read in fic. So I haev no clue how accurate this is, but it felt realistic and understandable, so it was an interesting read. Several good lines. Cute with Clint in over his head, trying to top at first. The 'sir' thing was really sweet. Aww for Clint running naked with a sniper rifle and the cops cuffing him with his own cuffs.

Life Should Not Resemble a Fairytale by Jade_Dragoness added 131218
Aliens are invading - and they're coming too quick for even the Avengers to handle. Loki appears and offers to take the Avengers to the Aliens' mothership. Of course, not for free. In return, Loki gets one of Fury's "subjects", transferring their loyalty to Loki. Fury agrees. The invasion is stopped and Loki claims his prize. Phil Coulson, Agent of Loki. Now what? He couldn‘t lose because no matter what because he was certain of this fact: no one else in the entire universe wanted a claim on Phil Coulson’s heart as much as he did. Nice set-up, fresh plot, though with a classic use of true love's connection and the whole loyalty thing - I liked it. Very nice angst, but also good humor and many nice touches. Nice built-up betwen Clint and Phil. Oh so sweet with Loki getting a bit tamed by Phil, that was cute. Several good lines and descriptions. I like how Clint could read the severity of the situation by looking at Coulson calm, that sounds about right. Good use of Asgardian magic. Good voice on Thor. Awww for Clint calling dib son Coulson with Natasha. Several good details. Awww also for Hulk's reaction to Coulson. One of my favourite parts was how things started to slide for SHIELD once they lost Coulson. Also sweet with Clint's eagerness for Phil.

Thanks for the memories by coffeesuperhero added 131216
Clint is in a loving relationship with Phil. Only he isn't. All the memories are false, a "gift" from Loki. Clint is not prepared to give up on the beautiful thing he had. Sadly, Coulson does not seem interested. Is all hope lost? "It was a dream, Barton," Coulson said, crisp, businesslike, official, like he was approving a requistion instead of breaking Clint's heart. Interesting story, fresh plot with good feeling and nice resolution. Lovely dash of angst.

Rain by ladydeathfaerie added 131120
Clint is tired of being alone, but his job makes it difficult to date. Coulson sometimes shows up when Clint drinks alone and Clint tells him about his woes. One day he propositions Coulson, half without thinking about it, but Coulson takes him up on it. Desperate, single sniper seeks accommodating single partner who doesn't care if he drags ass in at four in the morning with a gunshot wound or if he hangs around with a bunch of men wearing tights. Good feeling between Barton and Coulson. I did like Clint's eagerness to please Coulson and the hints of angst in Coulson might worry if all is a hoax. Hot too and nice dash of humor. Good voice on Clint and I liked his descriptions/view of Coulson.

Malibu Avengers by cy_chase added 131120
Hockey AU. Phil Coulson gets traded to the Malibu Avengers. In his first game he assists Barton to score with 34 seconds left, winning them the game. Goalie Tony Stark invites him back to his house for a post-game party. Coulson is invited to stay the night and when he retires, Barton comes to him, revealing that he's followed Coulson for years, indeed has had a thing for him - for years. It can’t hurt to talk to him, and after being forced to DVR every single one of the man’s games for four years, I’m going to have to insist that you man up. A friend and I was just talking about Hockey RPF and the relative lack of crossovers to hockey, so I was happy to find a nice Hockey AU. I'm not into hockey per se, but I'm Swedish, so I have no choice but to follow it, at times. Nice feel here, I especially liked the backstory of Steve, Clint and Natasha. Go Avengers! If he's Swedish Thor would be Odinsson (or possibly Odensson), but I'm nitpicking, I know. I liked the story of the purple hat.

quickly now, go tell the Avengers that the ducklings are no longer eggs by emmypenny added 131120
When Tony learns that Clint has never gone egg hunting he arranges an egg hunt for the Avengers. He makes the mistake of letting Thor arrange the eggs. Not long afterwards Coulson finds himself co-father of 30 ducklings. Of course, if anyone can handle 30 ducklings, it is Coulson. Even if Clint is the other parent. The sound of a single duckling comes just before Coulson enters the room, followed by two very straight lines of ducklings marching in what can only be called a military manner. Adorable. Very funny, but also good writing technique. I especially like the dry, matter of fact conclusions to some situations. Several good lines. Very, very sweet. Yay for Duck-eye and so, so, so sad about poor Donald (I thought Donal Dock, but Thor is also Donner, so I thought that was fitting). I would love to read more in thius universe. Some very nice, clear images. Even a dash of angst, nice. I liked the interlude with Tony talking to Coulson about what Coulson's father misses out on.

Phil Coulson Doesn't Work For StarkIndustries by scifigrl47 added 131114
While tossing in bed in a nightmare, Steve accidentally clips Tony but good. When Tony realises how bad things are and how devestated Steve will be on finding out what he did, Tony have Pepper send him at a factory inspection. The ruse might have worked -if not for that the factory having been taken over by AIM. “You were really going to try to rescue me from an abusive Captain America, weren't you?” he asked, his mouth twitching. Poor Steve ... And I could see Tony doing that, no problem. Pepper's reaction when she misunderstands what happened is epic. Lovely angst. Yay for Steve going Jensen! The Losers are my favourite movie. Several good lines and descriptions. Heh for Tony comingon to Jensen-Steve and aww for Tony's geek kink. Heh for SHIELD being afraid of Pepper. Good dash of humor and emotion. Good solution in the end. TOASTERVERSE.

The Body Electric by Jade_Dragoness added 131113
Clint is in a relationship with Coulson. Of course Clint heard the many rumours about his lover. He found the rumor of Agent Coulson having been created in a lab hilarious. Until he learns that it is actually true. Phil - aka Cybernetic Official Unit for Lawful Security Operations Number 01 - is a robot. Oh, and there's dinosaurs too. But Clint‘s real fear, a fear which kept him from just flat out asking the man out for dinner, was that once Coulson realized Clint’s feelings for him went way past professional regard he would end up looking at Clint as if he was a roach crawling out of the woodwork for daring to think he could have more. I read this series after having seen only the first couple of episodes of Agents of SHIELD. Considering what they seem to be toying with, I'm making this my head canon until I learn differently. This I could easily see. Nice story, well written, good emotion and lovely angst. I love the notion of Culson's division of memories, especially his core identity and his ability to reprogram himself. I'm not sure if it was intended for Tony to see Coulson as a kind of brother, also made by Howard, with his 'Starks don't break easily'-comment, but if so, I thought it was great. Nice voice for Coulson and humor too. I hope for more in this universe. Aww for all the robots being happy about Curiosity. And poor Coulson02. Heh for Philistine. Several good lines. The rumors about Phil was great, I especially liked the god of field agents one.

Sweets for the Sweet by Jade_Dragoness added 131113
Clint discovers that Coulson has a sweet tooth. Naturally, to make himself more interesting to the other man, he starts to eat more candy: demonstratively eat more candy. Some of the other Avengers gets either confused or turned on. Apart from Thor, who instantly knows what is going on. “My brother too craved sweet foods when pregnant.” Cute story. Tony's reaction made me smile - and Thor's, of course. And Clint accidentally conditioning himself to get hard when Coulson says 'taze' - poor boy - but great detail, I really liked it.

When Your Heart Beats (Next To Mine) by SomeoneElsesDream added 131106
A villain transforms Clint to a woman. The change might be permanent. How will Clint cope and will Phil still want him in his new body? “You are still the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.” Phil assures him, tracing one finger from Clint’s sternum to his belly button, watching his face for any sign of discomfort. A nice version of this thrope. I found Clint's adaption realistic for him, better than most of this type of transformation stories. The hug scene with Steve was lovely - I rarely like touching people, much less hugging, but I could so imagine the absolute security and warmth and had they been real I'd be so jealous of Clint. Good development and end. Sweet with Steve worrying about Clint. Yay for Clint playing Tony and heh for Tony rolling with the not really understand what he was doing feeling. Nice dashes of angst. Several good lines. And yes, they could so rule a country together.

Easy to Blur by foxxcub added 131106
The mission had gone well, apart from Coulson getting shot by the alien's heat gun - and, unfortunatelly, by 'heat' they didn't mean temperature. Coulson gets very horny. He manages to get to the mansion, intending to lock himself in his room and take the matter into hand. Unfortunatelly - or, possibly, fortunatelly - Barton waits for him by the door, wanting to know what's wrong - and Coulson has no strength to resist him. But is Barton really unwilling to help out? “Fuck,” Barton breathed, “please tell me you’ll speak to me again when this all over.” Classic alien made them do it-story, but nicely written and an interesting pairing to read it in. Poor Phil. Well handled by Clint. Nice dash of angst and good end.

The Small Sin Of Apathy by james added 131105
Phil gets a worrying phone call from Fury. Clint has been taken hostage by an alien and is under alien mind control. No, not Loki this time. But why does Fury seem so distracted when he reports of such an event? And why haven't the Avengers rescued their team mate yet? And mind-controlling humans a dozen times, aliens that use subtle persuasion and charm, three times in the last six months and humans who rely on charm to make us do whatever he wants -- every single day, and if we didn't have Steve to sit on him, we'd all be part of the Stark Army. Awww. Cute story. Nice feel and the image of the sloth/Prequllia and Clint made me smile. I did also like the details of Situation 1271 and the plotting of the other Avengers. Heh for Coulson blaming his use of 'hinky' on Clint. Good use of Thor. Go Stark Army!

Dating the Long Way Around by scifigrl47 added 131104
Steve and Tony are finally going on a date. Steve's first date, ever. Everything should be perfect. Apart from the invasion of New York, when the city is taken over by ice monsters and all the other Avengers go missing. Now what will they do? For as often as this date had been delayed, due to disasters and SHIELD emergencies and Tony's health after his kidnapping, it was possible that Steve had built this up in his head to be something it wasn't. Poor boys. Oh so sweet with the nervousness and everything in the beginning (especially the girls trying to tell Steve how he doesn't have to put out if he doesn't want to, awww ...). Nice humor too. Aww for Spidey webbing himself. I really liked the show of Steve's driving ability, very good touch. Also, Tony's unhealthy relationship with his tech, that made me smile. Sweet angst, good language. Good villain, believably flawed. I really liked the use of Clint and how the witch was fooled by her own ignorance. At the very end of the date turned very good. TOASTERVERSE.

By the Book by Perpetual Motion added 131028
Coulson finds out that agents have been giving Hawkeye disrespect for sleeping with his handler. Coulson isn't pleased. Especially not since Hawkeye isn't sleeping with his handler in the first place. What will Coulson do? It takes Coulson twenty minutes and a few well-placed, mild threats (and the fact that two of the agents are genuinely scared of being tazed makes Phil wonder when S.H.I.E.L.D. allowed recruiting requirements to go so lax) to find out exactly why junior agents are assholes. Cute with Coulson using his field knife like that. And the whole betting thing. The dowry line also made me smile. Awww for Clint putting up with the others to still be with Coulson, very sweet. Yay for Coulson standing up for his man, even if they're not together yet.

This World or the Next by wintervioleteye added 131028
Coulson is under attack when his car turns out to be a sentient, alien life-form. In fact, Coulson's car is a mech that calls itself Hawkeye (or Clint). They strike up a friendship. But why does Hawkeye project as a very handsome, blue-eyed man? And then, one day disaster strikes ... Phil doesn’t quite know when Hawkeye had become his car especially since the Acura technically belongs to SHIELD, but he’s the one who drives the Acura through the car wash on Sundays and spends an hour with sleeves pushed up to his elbows buffing smooth metal until it shines. Interesting crossover. I did appreciate the image of Hawkeye surrounding Coulson so completely and his way of protecting him. Heh for Coulson initially automatically blaming Tony. Very visual story, I could envision this on screen. Awww for Coulson washing the car. Cute end. Nice humor and a dash of angst.

And I'll Cross Oceans Like Never Before by Sirona added 131028
Loki transforms Clint into a Corgi. It'll wear off, but until then, he's a dog. Part of it is fun, other things not so much. At first Clint stays with the Avengers, but when Coulson doesn't treat him differently, Clint decides to hang with Coulson instead. However, in dog form Clint learns things about Coulson he never knew before. Including that Clint loves him. But Loki's transformation will soon wear off and Clint knows that once it does, Coulson will never let Clint as close again. Perhaps if he just holds very, very still when he's back to human, he might be allowed near again? Aww ... Clint as a Corgi sounds just adorable. Good touch with the Allspeak. Good voice for Clint. Very nice angst and humor. Cute with the other Avengers too, with Tony being so happy when Clint licks him and warm, secure Steve. Heh for Coulson clicking his fingers at Clint. Well-written part with Clint as a dog, a good, amusing read. Aww for Coulson making sure Clint doesn't get trampled. Several good lines.

The virtues of kissing by syndelar added 131024
Clint has kissed all the Avengers and each was special. But the one that mattered so much Clint was terrified while kissing him, was Coulson. He wasn't terrified of Coulson; he was terrified of Coulson's reaction because Coulson was the only person Clint was serious about. Nicely done. I liked how typical each kiss is for the person he kisses. And while I almost never like het stuff, the Natasha one was hot too. Aww for Clint feeling safe with Steve. Thor was also a good one. But best of all, yes, of course, Coulson. Clint being so worried was adorable.

10 Things Clint Loves About Phil Coulson by misbegotten added 131024
As the titel says, ten things about Phil that Clint loves, from his excellent morning routines, how unfazed he normally is, how thoughtful he is, that he can cook, and more - each with an example. Phil plays the Unassuming Suit to a tee, which makes it all the more unforgettable when he does something kickass in the field, like take down two HYDRA agents with the same bullet. Several good reasons, warying between making me nod and smile. Good boy Clint for his revenge on Tony. And the Runs With Scissors T-shirt really made me smile. Clint getting turned on by kickass Coulson is among my favourite things about this pairing.

Clean and Jerk by sabinelagrande added 131021
Phil gets kidnapped, but returns. Clint is happy to have him back. Very, very happy. Without hesitation, Clint picks Phil clean up off the floor; Phil is very rarely surprised, but Clint's managed it this time. Short but very nice. I underline lines that I like on my kndle as I read and I think I underlined more than half the story. I liked Phil efficiently getting back without trouble. And Clint's reaction, of course. Very cute end, it made me smile. Nice images of the other in the team too, I especially liked Thor and Bruce.

Bulletproof by foxxcub added 131014 with sequel:
I swear I'll drive all night just to buy you some shoes by sirona
College AU. One part is Steve/Tony. Scrawny Steve falls in love with cool Tony at 15. At 20 Steve has grown up considerably. He and Tony becomes fuck buddies. But is it just sex between them? Another part is Clint/Phil. Clint studies art and Phil is his RA. They become fuckbuddies too. Phil know he's not special enough to keep Clint's interest for long - but is he right? There's an art show coming up - both Steve and Clint wants their man to go with them, but Steve doesn't dare to ask Tony and Clint asking Phil has catastropic consequences ... If Phil was getting restless, it stood to reason that Clint had to be getting bored, and Phil wasn’t going to stick around to be on the receiving end of his awkward explanations as to why Phil just wasn’t doing it for him anymore. and Clint's voice had been soft, a little raw with a few late-night beers, plenty tired as he'd spoken, lonely, heartsick words that amounted to a plea for Phil to not forget him, or at least to let him down gently when he found someone better than Clint, someone smarter, with whom he had more in common. Both stories are sweet. I love misunderstandings like this. Many good lines. Lovely angst, which is my favourite thing. The boys are all a bit silly, but make up for it nicely. Cute with Jane and Thor too. Poor Clint, especially. Warm story (hot too). Probably because Barton/Coulson is my favourite couple in Avengers, the part about them was my favourite bit, but the Steve/Tony was sweet too. Good voice for especially Coulson and I really like Barton's insecurities. Several nice images. I loved Coulson's list (the first one was hot too). Aww for the not being a special snowflake, that really moved me. Nice touch with Clint's drawings. The authorized sequal by a different author was lovely too, I thoroughly enjoyed the warmth and love between them and more lovely angst. Neat with the tattooes and I love family stories. A universe I'd love to read more in.

The Long Dark Night That Follows by james added 131014
Clint has realised that the Avengers doesn't need him. So finally he has enough. He leaves everything behind and set out on a roadtrip. Possibly he should have told someone of him quitting. How will the Avengers react? And - more importantly - how will Coulson react? To which lengths is Coulson willing to go to get his archer back? And here was Coulson showing him that not only had he made a difference, but that someone had noticed. That was a bit silly, Clint. Of course they'd worry about you. Awww for Coulson working so hard to keep his archer. Cute end. Yes, must be a bit difficult for a "regular" guy to keep up with the Avengers - but of course they need him. Good humor - I really enjoyed the scene at the gas station when they all show up - that would have made for a lovely scene on-screen. Heh for Clint (probably wisely) keeping mum about the billing him for the costs-idea.

Be Every Fetter Strained by dizmo added 131008
Clint wants Coulson. Luckily, Coulson wants Clint too. The problem is that Coulson is a vampire with psychic abilities and he doesn't trust himself not to accidentally make Clint his thrall. That might turn out problematic. He was caught between the concern of a friend, of a lover, and the flight instinct of a prey animal. Interesting idea and set-up. Good feeling and I do like the idea of SHIELD betting pools (including Fury seeding them on occasion). Cute with the roller skating. Powerful with Coulson's willingness to sacrifice himself for Clint. I do like Clint's practicality, very nice. I hope to read more in this universe later.Heh, considering Barton's stubborness a bit of vampire mind control probably could come in handy at times. Aww for Clint following Coulson around like a puppy hoping for a treat. Great idea to use Coulson for wet work like that.

Work it by James added 131008
There's a difficulty in getting Barton to do his paper work. Finally Coulson locks him in his office and threatens Barton's bow. The thing is, Clint doesn't have as much problem with paperwork as he has with his fantasies about getting fucked over a desk by a man in a suit. Coulson hovering does not help. Clint's behind the desk and there are all the trappings of a normal office and every fantasy he's ever given himself to indulge, because you pick the one thing you know you can't have and you let yourself pretend, and fantasies fill in the blank spaces where there is no chance (no hope) of reality coming in to crash the party and ruin things. Cute with Clint's fantasies - hot too. And I did like Coulson threathening Cint's bow - very effective, very Coulson.

New York State Of Mind by annagarny added 131008
When Coulson and Barton first met they don't even know that the other is a SHIELD agent, only that they share a taste in coffee. Only at Thor's Hammer do they realise who each other is. Later, they get together. Of course, life is never boring amongst the Avengers. "Considering that about an hour ago you were telling me that you're planning to move into my place in New York by either stealth or force, I'd have thought you'd be more than okay with the arrangement." Sweet story with plenty of good details and humor. I smiled a lot while reading this. Heh for Barton using people's clothing against them in hand-to-hand combat. Nice intimacy between the boys. Really sweet how Barton intended to move in with his man regardless - awww. The Avengers would need an on-site infirmary, heh. Also Tony having a Cap tatoo - heh! I'm not entirely sure of the time line between they meet and them getting together, but I really liked the first meeting like tha t- and how Coulson just keeps the shiny new pet sniper he's found. Very sweet with mini-Barton. And I really liked Coulson pulling rank with the doctor. Cute end. Him calling Tony Daddy before the paparazzi would have been epic.

Occupational Hazard by windsweptfic added 130909
Coulson (aka Philip the Patient) is actually from Berk. When SHIELD rescues a young Night Fury dragon from Doctor Doom, Coulson is called to take care of the dragon. However, in the process Coulson learns a great secret of the dragons: they can take a human shape. In fact, he already knows two: Nick Fury and Natasha ... The young dragon seems to see very well, so Coulson calls him a little hawkeye. The Night Fury let out a little chirp of approval and wriggled until he could nestle against Phil's side, wrapping his tail around him and effectively preventing him from leaving. Sadly discontinued story that had great promise and is still very amusing. An entertaining and thoughtworthy read. Very interesting crossover. So sweet with Hawkeye latching on to Coulson and being possessive of him and wanting to go with him. I liked the end of the story as it is (even if, of course, I would have liked a full-length, non-discontinued version too). Awww for Clint being so sensitive as a human.

So they could wake up in this future place by Sidney Sussex added 130828
Clint is taken and written off as an affordable loss. He's not, though. Not to one Phil Coulson, who makes himself a sacrifice. He takes a nanotechnology serum, Extremis, that rewrites his body into what amounts to a demiurge - at a terrible price. Will the new Phil Coulson rescue Clint - and, if so, how will Clint react to what Coulson did? Clint doesn't try to speak again, but he's watching Phil now, and his eyes are alive with a kind of fear Phil has never seen. As I haven't read the comics I had to look up Extremis afterwards. That is not necessary to enjoy the story, though, which I found well-written and interesting, thoughtworthy. And if there's one man I'd trust with such powers, that just might be Phil Coulson. A universe I would love to read more stories in. Great description of the pain and the process of Extremis and waking up. The instant message between Tony and Coulson were also interesting. I found Clint's reaction believable too, that would have been a bit difficult to handle all at once, even for him and even if he always suspected that Coulson had superpowers. I like Phil's Extremis being better/more efficient at certain things than Tony's. Good angst.

I've Got Your Blood Under My Fingernails by lanyon added 130820
Twenty short stories telling the story of Coulson and Barton's relationship, from when they danced around each other until they have forever together before them. Coulson says that Stark’s thinking of buying it – yes, all of Latveria – and he tells Barton to stop trying to scratch under his cast and Barton can’t quite conceive that fingers this gentle could have wrung secrets from the throats of Barton’s captors, for all that there’s a trigger finger callus and slightly grazed, slightly swollen knuckles. Some really sweet parts in this. I like clueless Clint and a hint of insecurity on Coulson's part. Nice intimacy between the two: aww for Clint running Phil a bath and them finishing each other's sentences. Several funny parts: Coulson pre-arranging his own kidnapping and Clint winning a fish were among my favourites. I have a Hot Toys Hawkeye and can attest that it is very posable (as is the Coulson one). Nice touch with the name of Coulson's last relationship, the name being reducted.

Lights on the Water by Kisleth and Sidney Sussex added 130807
AU in which Coulson is the best fisherman on the North Atlantic. He works alone, but sometimes he likes to hear a friendly voice. He calls the lighthouse and Clint Barton, the lighthouseman. Soon their conversations becomes more and more intimate and perhaps neither of them have to be alone anymore, even with an ocean between them. For five minutes as soon as the sun touches the water, put your hand in the sea, and I’ll do the same, and through the ocean—our lovely ocean that doesn’t part us—hold my hand. Sweet, warm story, one of those you just enjoy reading and just want to keep reading. Good feeling between them. Full of nice details. I'm normally not all that keen on AUs, but both characters works well here. Coulson competent and strong as usual. I love the sign of insecurity in Clint, I always like that. Good details on both professions. Even sweet, in parts. Good ending.

A SHIELD Agent Walks Into A Bar by flatbear added 130807
To wind down Coulson will on rare occasion go to a bar.Not to drink, but to test his strength not to drink. One day, while he is there, Barton shows up, showing off and getting admired. However, it's a gay bar - and Barton is straight. And then, Barton sees Coulson. How will he react? Please explain to me why I shouldn't just kill you now and blame it on a Hydra sniper with exceptionally good aim, and a surprising knowledge of gay new York hot-spots? Barton's reaction to Coulson's touch was lovely eager with a hint of submission I really like. Hot. nice touch of humor too. I also like Phil pulling the gun on Barton - hot. Poor Clint, thinking Coulson would fuck him there as well, after he'd been so good. I would have liked to read more in this story.

Triskelion by windsweptfic added 130807
Loki sees Clint and for some reason starts to act even stranger than usual. Then Bullseye challenges Clint to a deadly duel on who is the best marksman. Suddenly Loki's interest grows even more intens and he honestly seems to want to protect Clint. What is the trickster God up to? A very, very old story is revealed. The fact that he's facing down a Norse god doesn't matter at all to him, and Clint would be cooing over his awesomeness if he was actually physically able to do so. Nice technical division of the story with the start of each chapter. Fresh story. I like the additio to the Norse myths. Interesting that his sons was also used to bind Loki; which in a way also fits this too, if not by spilled blood. Kinda sweet hos Loki listens to Clint talking about Phil and one can only wonder how Loki would have reacted if he had not found Coulson worthy of Clint. As a Swede I say that Loki is welcome here, but, yes, mostly in passing. Nice feeling between Clint and Phil, domestic even with the extra comm device. Funny with the arrows Loki gave Clint. Cute end.

Will of Iron, Heart of Glass by sororexitium added 130724
There's a pattern of six in the Avenger's mansion: six seats, six armchairs, six bedrooms. But there's only five members. When Steve is woken from the ice, Tony Stark has been dead for two years. When Steve finds out that Howard had a son, Steve feels strangely cheated. One day, JARVIS lets Steve into an unused workshop - where Steve meets a sub-program of JARVIS, based on Tony Stark. Steve calls the program Anthony. And slowly, Steve falls in love with the computer simulation. A truly tragic love story ... but is it really, truly doomed? Making love to Steve that night is possibly the best they’ve ever done as he whispers, “Captain Stark,” in Steve’s ear, and listens to the way it never sounds old. I read mainly Barton/Coulson, letting other pairings come as they may around my boys. This was a lovely find. The Barton/Coulson part works well, but the Steve/Tony is lovely. Fresh plot, well written by an author not afraid to let a good story take the space it needs. Several good lines and a nice read. Strong in parts, thoughtsworthy. Great use of Thor, I really liked him in this one. Good sense of humor. Several neat details, like the on-going doubt of Thor's speech pattern, Coulson's chicken noodle soup, Clint going cake "shopping" and Coulson officiating. Aww for Thor giving Clint a piggy-back ride, I'd love to see that. Nice mirror story. Nice report between Tony and JARVIS, when Tony contacted JARVIS again I literally went aww ...

Clint Barton versus Phil Coulson's No Good Very Bad Evil Fuzzy Wuzzy Mustache of Doom by kat8cha added 130722
When first Clint got to know Phil, Phil had a mustache. But not just any mustache. A no good very bad evil fuzzy wuzzy mustache of doom. Clint decides that the mustache must die. He did his best to give Coulson puppy eyes without being distracted by the sight of Coulson staring down the sights of a gun at him. Cute story that made me smile. so cute the lengths Clint go to. Bad Natasha, helping him, then letting him take the heat. Good humor. I liked Clint's description of the mustache. good ending. Cute with Clint flirting with the secretary pool to find out Coulson's missions. Aww for Clint considering drugging Coulson to let him sleep better (sigh, fandom is strange ...). I really adore the "accidental dating" fics - very cute. All in all, yes, I don't think Coulson would look good in a mustache like that, so, good job, Clint.

The Lucky Ones by torakowalski added 130715
Coulson and Barton has kept their relationship a secret from the Avengers (apart from Natasha, of course). So when the Hulk smash the wrong wall at the wrong time, the other Avengers are in for quite a surprise. But then Captain America is concerned for if the relationship has compromised Coulson. And Barton knows that if forced to chose, Coulson won't chose him. Or would he? “I thought we were your dirty little secret,” he says then wishes he’d phrased that slightly less flippantly when Phil’s face goes tight and dismayed. Good felling, lovely little angst. Nice humor too, I especially liked how even the Hulk seems a bit taken aback by seeing Coulson and Barton together. Nice interaction with JARVIS too - and cute how Stark asks about his robots taking over the lab yet, that made me smile. Nice intimacy - but also hot sex. The plot point with Rogers worked well. Several good lines. Heh for Thor being impressed.

Mittens by LulaMadison added 130705
Loki has been worryingly silent lately. Finally the Avengers find him again - playing with a kitten. Naturally, Thor draws the entirely logical conclusion that he is once more a proud uncle. “My brother has birthed many different and wondrous creatures Captain,” Thor replied, placing a hand on Loki’s shoulder and beaming with pride. Cute story. Neat idea and it really made me smile. Good humor. Heh for the panic at the veterinarian's office.

Fish out of Water by kungfunurse added 130702
The captain has a closer relationship with his shield than most realise. They are very atuned to one another. After he has woken up in the future Fury takes Steve to the SHIELD weapon storage and there are many nifty things there - but only one thing he truly needs. He bent his head to the topmost curve of the shield and touched his lips to the cold metal. Oh so sweet. Steve humming to his shield is, just, aww. Fresh idea. I liked it. Good use of the vibranium. A universe I'd like to read more stories in. I liked the view of Steve and his past in this one too.

A Little Bit Of Your Taste by ellievolia and sirona added 130702
AU in which Barton owns a new coffee store near Coulson's NSA office. Coulson needs the life-giving elixir that is coffee and tries out all coffee places. Barton makes very, very good coffee. But there's more, a connection between the two men. Clint's thighs clench on his hips, clearly reluctant to let him go; Phil's world actually whitens a little at the feel of it, the thought of what's coming, of what Clint's legs would feel like wrapped about his hips as Phil slides inside him. I don't like AUs much, but this was a sweet one. They connected very well. A nice read. Good emotions. Nice hint of angst. Lovely descriptions of the coffee, definitelly made me want to try "the Agent". Hot sex too.

Lemme Grab A Seat And I'll Tell Ya About Our Hard, Hard Day by Sidney Sussex added 130702
Christmas with the Avengers at Tony's place. Clint has never really celebrated Christmas before. He's a bit outside the bustle. Luckily, Coulson is also there and for some reason he seems to always be where Clint is. And Jarvis seems strangely intent on keeping them together. Coulson gives him that smile again, that knowing one that says he has all your secrets and he's better at keeping them than you are, and Clint suddenly recognizes that confused feeling and aw, man, aw, crap, no way, because it's Coulson and Coulson sees everything and he can take you apart with a paper clip, and Clint knows he's totally, completely, one hundred percent screwed. Sweet story with good feeling. Aww for Coulson courting Clint with coffee and all. I also liked Jarvis getting credit for all he does - good on Clint for acknowledging that. The morning conversation about synchrotrons and relativistic gamma was also amusing. Nice dash of humor overall. Sweet with Jarvis matchmaking. Heh for Coulson slipping in the question to go for coffee in his statement that he does not run the world.

Decision making paradigms by sin added 130701
Clint sees a woman leaving Phil's office - a woman who corrects Phil's tie and kisses his cheek. Clint is naturally curious and starts to stalk, um, investigate. As it turns out, it's not just one woman - Phil appears to have an entire harem. Then Clint makes the mistake of showing his evidence to the other Avengers. what is the truth about Phil's "harem" - and how will Phil react when he finds out what Clint has done? Jane has told me that, despite the current fad of young adult fiction that purports to be liberating for young girls, breaking into your romantic interest's house to watch them sleep unknowing of your presence is, in fact, anti-feminist, illegal in most countries of this world and downright skeezy. Poor Clint, I can so see him starting this without meaning anything bad and then it just gets out of his control. The Twilight references amused me very much. Nice angst. Again poor Clint for Phil's reaction. Nice dash of humor overall. Aww for Tony trying to cheer Clint up with a miniature crossbow. Sweet ending. Normally, yes, stalking is skeezy, but Clint's version is cute.

A Very Coulson Christmas by dizmo added 130701
Phil's family thinks he's a state department pencil pusher. That is all good and well - until he brings home his boyfriend for Christmas and it's a bit difficult to explain howcome his boyfriend is ... Hawkeye. He'd seen Coulson get crowded with people with paperwork, he'd seen him surrounded by hostiles with weaponry, not to mention getting ringed by needy Avengers, but he can safely say this is the first time he'd seen the man mobbed by family and accosted for hugs. Cute story that made me smile. I was fairly new to this fandom when I read this story and I hadn't yet read a good story involving Phil's family and it was something I wanted to read, so this was very nice to find. Heh for Clint without provocation thinking Phil's dad could have been an aged clone. Cute background story on how they met.

Silver Tongue, Golden Lasso by Kadorienne added 130626
Loki is a tricky captive, a true master of escape. Even on the Raft, weighted down by Mjölner and guarded by some of the strongest super heroes in the world, he can slip away. SHIELD's resources are drawn on - and they want to know what Loki was really after. Can Thor really be devious enough to find out? And, if so, what did Loki really want - and what are the consequences for the future? I have learned that when I want to prove to someone that I love them, extravagant gestures like destroying enemy realms are a bad idea. Lovely view on Loki, rings very true. Nice between Loki and Thor with good emotions. The boys well in character. Several good lines. I like how Thor had to grow as a character to reach his goal. Twilight is cruel and unusual punishment, yes. Very suitable ending. Aww for mind-controlling Superman as a right of passage. Nice dash of humor. I liked how Loki put protective spells on the Avengers. Poor, faithful Thor, Loki is not the easiest love - aww for his attempts at poetry. Interesting comparison between Thor and Steve, to see a brother fall.

Tales of the Bots by scifigrl47 added 130626
When Tony was 17 he built his first bot - Dummy. The name was a mistake and not the only mistake either, but Tony achieved a goal - with Dummy he's no longer alone. Not everyone sees what an amazing thing Dummy is, but he is - and the Avengers soon learn to appreciate, even love him. Steve smiled down at him, blue eyes twinkling in the low light; it was the blue light in his chest caught in Steve's eyes, and God, that was beautiful, like Steve took something he hated about himself and made it a little better, a little easier to accept, because it was beautiful in Steve's eyes. So much sweet bot-love. Huge amounts of feelings. Tear-worthy in places, definitely aww-worthy, but also well-written, interesting plot and sub-plots, nice humor. Lots of good lines. I really enjoyed the interaction between Dummy and Jarvis - so sweet. Nicely done kid fic too, the third part, always a treat, especially with adorable Dummy. The boys well in character. Lovely angst. Cute with Bruce keeping lollipops for Clint. Heh for the Avengers opening a restaurant. Aww for Coulson stapling with Dummy - and for Dummy trying to rescue Tony from Steve. Sweet how Steve takes to Dummy instantly. One detail I like was Jarvis planning air vent cleaning and thus notifies Clint. I also liked Clint's speech about him and Natasha. And the rest of the team already thinking Tony and Steve was together.

Secrets of the Toasterverse by scifigrl47 added 130625
Series of small stories or explanations of things that happens in Toasterverse, such as why Thor likes to play Trivial Pursuit, why Coulson bops Clinton the head, why Coulson hates roombas and so on. But Dummy wants to be Tony’s favorite, he’s the oldest, he’s the first born son, he’s the BESTEST OF THE BOTS. Some really interesting explanations, many which made me smile. Some a little awww-worthy, some sweet and I hope for more parts. Some highly amusing and a good bit of angst too. Aww for Clint waiting to be punished when he screws up. Good language. I found the story with Steve and Bucky moving. Heeh for Tony praising lamps for turning on. Yay for the bad penny of the Avengers. I really giggled at the thought of Coulson being elected mayor due to the SHIELD operation increasing the town population. TOASTERVERSE.

Hollow Your Bones Like A Bird's by scifigrl47 added 130625
Even if Coulson was killed by Loki, life goes on, no matter how much a certain archer might wish differenty. Clint mourns. He has all but given up - but he's needed and there's a place for him in the team if he can only bring himself to take it. And maybe there's a very important reason to hang on ... He's dead, and what faith I had in SHIELD died with him, because everything ended when he died. Lovely, long, angsty story, full of feeling, love, pain, yet still adventure and character development. Of course, it could have been bitter-sweet, but as it is, it is just great.Very nice ending, aww-worhty and in pieces tear-worthy too. With a lovely humor and a good read overall. As I read I underline good parts and this got what I think is a record for me of 139 underlines in my kindle - many of them long. Nice sub-plotline with the birds, interesting in itself. Awww for Clint wanting to listen to Phil's voice on the voice mail. I also found the idea of Clint being uneasy with Thor in the beginning very fresh. Aww for Phil trading all he had on Fury for SHIELD to take care of Clint. Apart from the ending, my favourite part was the interaction between Clint and Bruce. Both when Bruce was the Hulk and he helped him sleep and when General Ross comes for Clint - oooh, that was an epic scene: lovely, lovely, lovely Great to see everyone to Clint's rescue, each in their own way, but each with such perfection. Excellent point of what Clint shot Fury. So sad of them cleaning Phil's apartment from everything Clint - would be great to hear more about Clint later on meeting Phil's family. I liked Tony's appreciation for Clint's talent, good for him. So much lovely angst in this story, very well done. Everyone well in character. Interesting take on Phil's wound. TOASTERVERSE.

Things Unseen by scifigrl47 added 130625
Scenes from how Steve learns more and more about Tony and the complex man he is: his relationship with his friends, his father and - of course - his bots. For an instant, a moment that froze the blood in his veins, Tony's mouth was still and cold beneath his, and Steve heard the soft, pleading noise that rattled in his throat. Some lovely scenes, with good humor, yet with strong emotions. Lots of aww-worthy moments, warmth and love. Many good lines.Nice look at their lives. Ineresting take on why Steve let himself be experimented on. Yay for the lego building, especially at the end. Aww for Steve momentarily worrying about Tony giving Dummy away. Good descriptions of Tony. Interesting with the splinter in Tony's neck, the explanation (or maybe not) to this in a previous story. Sad about Howard, really, that he did all that and never got to see Steve again. TOASTERVERSE.

Four (or Five) Reasons for Kidnapping Tony Stark by scifigrl47 added 130625
There are four reasons for kidnapping Tony Stark: money, leverage, to get him to build something for you - and revenge. This time, when Tony gets kidnapped, it turns ot it is for all the above. And then there's the fifth reason, which Tony so far has only dreamed about: Steve saving the world and demanding Tony as his reward. And just maybe this story is about that too. “We'll follow the screams and the smell of homemade napalm and the reports of gigantic coffee purchases, and any and all of that will lead us straight to Tony Stark, because he is a crazy ass son of a bitch who is probably cackling like a maniac right now, and the fucking morons who were dumb enough to snatch him are wailing and regretting that they ever bought a Kurig coffee machine.” I underline stuff I like in a story on my kindle - this one got 126 underlines - several of them pages long ... More action and adventure than many of the other stories in the series, but several interesting plot twists. Still very amusing, but highly inventive and lots of feeling. Sweet that Tony alerted Steve what happened by pretending he's Pepper and telling him he loved him, aww .... Nice follow up from previous stories. Poor Tony with the lack of coffee ... Ineresting ending with the box. Nice language. I love Clint's prediction of how easy it would be to find where Tony was, just follow the carnage ... Yay for Jarvis to the rescue. Great about Tony leaving a message through iTunes. Neat when Steve and Clint cooperate so that Clint can tell Steve where to throw his shield - very useful. Aww for Steve counting his ducklings. Coulson and JARVIS for world domination! Nice also with the finally budding relationship. Heh for Clint's role in saving the world, that really made me smile. TOASTERVERSE.

Ordinary Workplace Hazards by scifigrl47 added 130625
The roombas escape and invade the SHIELD HQ. They take to the ventilation system, so Fury is forced to order Clint to go after them and then he's eaten by an air conditioning duct. Not a good thing. What will the Avengers do now and will they be able to get Clint back? The man could take out a spec ops operative with a goddamn Christmas wreath (Clint knew that to be a fact, he'd seen it), but arm the agent with an actual weapon and Clint had to seriously fight the urge to start taking his clothes off. Another sweet, very funny story with good development, nice voice for the boys. Builds well on earlier stories, but sets up future stories as well. Fresh feeling. Nice snark and interaction. Heh for Phil not minding if Clint sleeps around - as long as Clint doesn't mind his partners never be seen again. Aww for Thor trying to get Loki to help. So sad that Clint was unsure they would come for him - and Tony pointing out that his family has a history of looking for lost comrades. Many great jokes, worked in well in the story. Heeh for Steve being a great supervillain - true. Yay for the sovereign nation of Bartonia. Overall awww for Clint and the roombas. TOASTERVERSE.

Some Things Shouldn't Be A Chore by scifigrl47 added 130625
The Avengers all live in Tony's tower. Steve is tired of the untidiness, so he calls to a family meeting, during which they decide on a chart for everyone's chores. Tony is very much against. He stll gets a chore, to sweep the kitchen. Naturally, rather than to actually sweep the kitchen he orders 50 roombas that he upgrades and gives a hive mind. Was that really a good idea? Steve signed up for "Hugging Tony"-duty. Was that a good idea? Also, a really neat toaster. “For heaven's sake, do not break the marksman,” Coulson said as Thor gripped Clint under the arms, his huge hands on Clint's ribcage as he lifted the smaller man off of his feet like a toddler. Long, interesting story with depth, yet at the same time very funny. Cute in so many ways and lots of things I thoroughly enjoy. Nice language that enhances the read. Calcifer is cute, is as all the robots. The concept of chores could have been silly, but is done very well and, yes, if anyone could make the Avengers do that, it would be Steve - and he just might. Cute interaction in the gang, good voices. Aww for the "Feed Hawkeye"-chore. I especially liked the hint at the Hulk adoring Clint - I'd love to have more of that. We do get a little bit in later stories, but not definite interaction between the Hulk and Clint, apart from when Clint manages to put the Hulk to sleep, into about the adoring part. Aww for the roombas and Clint loving them. Heeh for the villains taking Thursday off to avoid the wrath of Thor. Aww for when Tony accidentally blurts out his view on being hugged ... TOASTERVERSE.

I've Got Your Words In Me by eleanor_lavish added 130617
Fury decides that Steve's virginity might cause trouble in the team, so he orders Coulson to 'just get it the hell done'. Coulson won't do it himself, so he gives the mission to Barton. Clint agrees (mostly as doing so will give him time alone with Coulson for the debrief after). Steve, however, is not at all amused when Clint comes on to him - as "everyone" knows that Phil and Clint are practically married. Everyone, that is, apart from Clint and Phil. So the good captain gets Clint drunk and then drops him on Phil. Now what will Phil do? “I’m gonna kiss you now,” he says, because he’s a gentleman, and because the last person on earth he wants to startle is Phil, who could probably incapacitate him with a paperclip. Interesting setup (bad Fury!). Nice dose of double angst. Cute with Clint and Phil watching TV together. Nice dose of humor too. Several good lines. A little sad about Clint's expectation that he'll probably be the first to go. Heh for drunk Clint talking about Phil's mouth to Steve. Heh also for Clint suggesting Coulson do the seduction himself. Awww for Clint being a little insecure with the other Avengers - and Natasha breaking into the NY State registry to try to verify if they're actually married. Hot, but my favourite part is when Clint offers Phil to fuck him and when Phil asks if they can do it the next time how happy and surprised Clint is that there will be a next time.

Eight Lovers by flatbear added 130617
As a lover, Clint has many different aspects. Phil might like some of them more than the others, but the whole packet is his. He shows him how to roll his hips down, how to breath through his nose and keep his teeth back when there’s a cock in his mouth. Their relationship might have its rocky moments - and maybe not entirely healthly in all aspects, but the story has a nice feel to it, elegant with the different descriptions of Clint. Something about Phil being Clint's first really works for me, especiallly when Cint has to point it out when Phil is practically all but in him, poor boy. Hot, but nice dash of humor too.

The Best Of Life and Asgard by scifigrl47 added 130613
The team goes to Asgard. Then, during a party, Steve suddenly attacks one of the Asgardians. A fight ensues and in the aftermath Tony finds himself in the for him very unusual position of the only sober person on the team. It's up to him to help his teammates. What happened and what is up with Steve? Fandral isn't upset, Thor's parents aren't upset, if anything, between defending your lover's non-existent honor and starting an epic battle, you've raised the average Asgardian's opinion of Earth's warrior class. Another amusing story form a good, solid writer. Heh for Tony in his unusual situation. A little aww for poor Steve. Several good lines. I would have loved seeing Volstagg trying to bench Clint. Aww for Thor worrying about Tony alone with drunk Steve. Drunk Steve reminds me a little of Chris Evans character Jake Jensen of the Losers. Aww for Steve getting the "dud" Tony-like date in the game they play - very cute. Heh for Clint getting a full body Roombaing. TOASTERVERSE.

Ghosts of Christmas Memory by scifigrl47 added 130613
Three Christmases for Clint and Coulson: how Phil became Clint's handler, one they didn't get together in - and one when they are. All tied together with a song. While I would not ordinarally encourage anyone to attempt marriage with Tony Stark, you might be the only person on Earth who could survive the experience with your sanity, your morals, and your limbs intact. Three different stories, but works well together and gives a full, nice view of their relationship. Vivid, especially the first part I'd love to see on film, that could have been made so nicely ... Aww for Clint being Coulson's Christmas present from Fury. I like the image of Coulson throwing an applet for Clint - really nice image that made me smile. Cute with Coulson's mom too. TOASTERVERSE.

Phil Coulson Is Not The Avengers' Matchmaker by scifigrl47 added 130613
Jane Foster is coming to New York. Thor is thrilled and the rest of the team is very happy for him. Tony wants to take them all out for a meal - possibly the restaurant of his choice might not be quite what the others are used to - or Jane for that matter. Disaster is on the horizon. Man's fine, but he seems to have the attention span of a gerbil with ADHD and a serious meth habit. Poor Jane ... I did enjoy the outing and getting all the boys (and girls) dressed up. I liked the descriptions of Thor in this one - his obvious happiness and strong personality and how his mood dictates the weather even in a room. Awww for Coulson liking Clint in his new suit. My absolutely favourite part, though, was the description of Steve half-asleep after the gas attack, hauling Clint around like a teddy bear - awww ... Several awws in this story actually - like Thor reading Foster's paper - so sweet. I don't like het much overall, but it works in this story. TOASTERVERSE.

Phil Coulson Does Not Take Attendance by scifigrl47 added 130612
Darcy and the two OCs that wer recruited by SHIELDs in Phil Coulson is Not A SHIELD Recruiter (see below), are now in training. They are in for a few surprises - but perhaps so are SHIELD, except for Coulson, of course. “This lady is under my protection,” he said, and that was regal, right there, that was the voice of a fucking King, Darcy had never heard a King in person, other than Thor, but she knew regal when she heard it, and that was goddamn fucking regal. A nice mix of cute, funny scenes with a little more serious themes. So cute with Stark trying to get Harris to pay attention to him - and Harris suspecting SHIELD might help cover up if he kills Stark. Yay for Drew being a good shot - as a pistol shooter myself I always root for good shooters of all types. The scene with Shawn and Steve also sweet, yet interesting with the backstory of Shawn's grandfather. Yay for Thor showing that woman should be treated right. TOASTERVERSE.

SHIELD Has Paperwork For Everything by scifigrl47 added 130611
Hill calls Clint to her office and explains to him the lay of the land: he's dragging Coulson down and it'll soon be down to him or Coulson and how will Clint replay Coulson's loyalty? So Clint does the only thing he can think of - he removes himself. But will Coulson and Natasha let him? He had a memory, blurred and spotty, stretched out with pain and tight with struggle, of begging Coulson to kiss him. Aww ... poor Clint. And so, so bad of Hill and Fury. Some really nice angst, with nice dashes of humor. I do like how Coulson recruited Clint at gunpoint - I don't know canon in this fandom much, but whether it's canon or part of the fic, it's truly great. Heh for Nick Fury being a greater challenge than the devil. Awww for clint clinging to Coulson when he's poisoned - and I love how Coulson wakes up when Clint holds his breath as not to disturb him - great touch. Clint snarking is such fun. Several very good lines. Heh for Coulson firing warning shots - into someone's knees: yeah, that man means business - and most of all when his Clint is in danger. Nice ending - Clint in the air duct and Coulson calling him on it was cute. TOASTERVERSE.

Phil Coulson Can't Keep The Avengers Out of Medical by scifigrl47 added 130611
One day, one by one the other Avengers drop out, due to magic, sickness or injury. Tony does his very best to get things done - while hiding from the others that he, too, is actually very sick. Will he be able to get through the day or will he crash - literally? “Thor is a zen master when it comes to dick moves on the part of his brother,” Tony said. Poor Tony ... Poor loyal Tony ... I do how this show him being dependable, in his own way, behind the sometimes flightly exterior. While this story is a bit more serious in tone than some of the othes in the series, due to the illness and inuuries, it does have many good, humorous parts and is an interesting story in itself. Poor Thor too. I like the attitude to Coulson getting shot. Aww for Hulk playing "catch the archer" - I'd love more on that. TOASTERVERSE

Phil Coulson is Not A SHIELD Recruiter by scifigrl47 added 130611
Darcy Lewis and some OCs from previous parts of the Toasterverse, are drafted by SHIELD. Not all of them are willing, but better than them have tried to tell Phil Coulson no without succeeding. “Did you just get minions, Phil?” Heh for Drew's scene when Coulson gets to him - would love to see that in a movie. Several good lines. The list of words to avoid was amusing - and would be interesting to read. So cute with Shawn being Coulson's Captain America fanpage buddy - I could see that, yes. Cute with the Roomba test. And the SHIELD google calendar. Very good humor overall - the author is a very good humor writer. Phil should have minions (even if Clint is his favourite one). TOASTERVERSE.

Phil Coulson Does Not Bake by scifigrl47 added 130611
Tony thinks it is amusing to send Steve to shop for things that does not exist. Steve is on to him, however, so Tony goes to greater and greater lengths to persuade him that the objects in question does exist. In hindsight, hiring an advertising firm to mock up a full scale advertising campaign and buy ad times during Steve's favorite shows might have been effective, but possibly just a hint too much - Steve now will not speak to him. What will Tony do? As it turns out, my carrier considers things Thor does to literally be an act of God. Tony, Tony, Tony, bad Tony ... Very amusing. Poor Steve - but great ending for him. All very amusing and I did very much enjoy the baking process. I really like this universe. For my fic rec page I only do one rec per series, but after having realised how much I like most parts of this series I have decided to make an exception (my only, so far) and do one each for these, so I can praise them to my heart's content. Awww for explaining like you'd explain to a drunk Thor ... Heh for Thor and Clint gourging themselves. And for Thor selling his name for jam. And for Thor's doings not covered by insurance, that's brilliant. As a Swede I find the whole demi-god thing of Marvel's a bit of a cop-out and heartily approve of god-status. Also the Wii battle between Coulson and Natasha made me smile. TOASTERVERSE.

Phil Coulson Is Not The Avengers' Public Relations Manager by scifigrl47 added 130611
Steve is sent out to shop, but on the way he stumbles into a group of gay rights activists in a demonstration. Later, when Steve finds out that there are many unfair rumours about the Avengers, he decides to use his new contacts. “Please don't 'friend' your brother as long as he's determined to destroy the Earth,” Phil said to Thor, who gave him a half-hearted shrug. Cute, funny story. Good voices for all characters. Many cute details. Tony setting Thor up with dummy accounts on facebook to friend Loki (and Loki posting fan art on Thor) still has me giggling. Nice OCs. Awww for Steve being Tony's test dummy for phones - and as a programmer myself I can really feel for Tony when the testers do something "impossible". Bad Tony for upgrading Steve's phone on the sly. Heh for Coulson having conspiracy sited dedicated to him. TOASTERVERSE.

Talk To Me by laceymcbain added 130604
Clint doesn't work well with many of his handlers at SHIELD. But then SHIELD gets a new agent in charge, Coulson. And one mission, there's a new voice in Clint's ear, one that he finds strangely compelled to answer. It takes even longer before he finally gets to meet the man himself. A working relationship ensues - but one day Coulson wants more. How will Clint react? "Phil, do it, I'm yours, just fucking take me." Nicely written fic, good feeling between the guys. Nice dash of humor and a nice little angst too. Poor Clint, having a panic attack, silly boy. Good on Fury for not falling for the "him or me"-rotine. Cute how Clint recognizes Coulson when he wakes up with Coulson sitting next to him, even if they have never met. Another nice detail was clint knowing Coulson is alive because he knows Coulson would never carry his Captain America cards in his jacket at work - true.

Some People Just Collect Stamps by Colser added 130604
Coulson wakes up after having been stabbed by Loki. He doesn't have much to wake up to, though, as Loki took Clint and Coulson has to count his lover as dead. Meanwhile, Clint mourns his lover, who Loki killed - until Stark gets some unexpected information from JARVIS ... (Although if Rogers ever did get ideas, Clint is fully prepared to shoot him in the throat.) Nice angst on both parts. Several good lines, warm story, an enjoyable read. Good voices too. I like the cellist-bow-thing, that made me smile. Cute with the Captain America cards collecting and Steve helping. Poor Clint. Poor Coulson too. Cute that Clint avoids eating by sticking the food to Thor. And bringing Steve to make Coulson happy. Heh for Steve asking if they're all supposed to kiss Coulson when he returns. I do think my favourite part is how Clint is not threathened by Steve.

That Sheds His Blood With Me by Kadorienne added 130530
Thor still loves his brother. However, he has become more and more convinced that Odin is not a suitable king of Asgard. Thor needs to do something about this, but in order to do so, he needs his brother back. Only Loki has been banished for 50 years - to Jotunheim. Thor has to play a long game and be devious. Does he have it in him and will Loki even want to help him, once he's back in Asgard (provided he survives Jotunheim)? His brother smiled at him, the old impish smile he wore when he had done something Thor would be angry at for a few days and afterwards find very funny. While I'm a slasher at heart, this is a lovely story about brotherly love (and I mean that in a platonic sense). Interesting development, good plot and a nice resolution. Sweet with Thor checking up on his brother for every day for 50 years - I do love Thor's loyalty. I like this story how he does stand up to his father and does have a slightly more devious side, while still being Thor. Several good lines. I like the brothes' subterfuge about stealing Idunn's apple as a code.

Confiteo by Ghostie added 130530
Clint is hit by a paralyzing agent of some sort. Thinking Clint is in a coma, Coulson confesses the true depths of his feelings for Clint. They are in a relationship, but while Coulson loves Clint, he thinks that for Clint their affair is merely a convenience. Unbeknownst to Coulson, Cint hears everything. Now how will he react? He wasn't the sort of person that was inclined to hide from difficult truths, but it had been so easy to pretend, when Clint would laugh as they kissed and slide his hands gently across Coulson's skin, that their relationship had been something besides purely physical. Several good lines. Nice angst of a type I really like, almost a little aww-worthy. I thought Fury was the SHIELD director, not Coulson? But not my primary fandom, so I could be wrong. The Coulson in this story is not my favourite type Coulson, but I still like it. I have no problems with his insecurities towards Clint, being jealous and having a weak moment, but in one or two instances (such as "letting" Tony blackmail him, letting Clint order him around a bit, expressing shame if they would be found together) that hints at a bit of passivity that isn't "wrong", I just prefer the very secure, effective, super agent version of him - and I still enjoyed this. Good touch with the nerve disruptor or paralyzing agent to explain why Clint hears everything.

The Binding of Loki by Kadorienne added 130523
Thor is bringing home Loki. Odin waits for them. He has a plan. There might still be one, desperate way to bring Loki back to them. Will Odin be able to pull it off and just what will he do? And now, Odin's son by birth was bringing his foster brother home muzzled and chained and injured, and Odin had one chance, only one, to divert Loki from the path he was now walking. This could actually work. I'm not too impressed with Odin in general in the Avengers universe, but I would like to like him, so if he did put his mind to it, I could see him doing something like this. Nice, suitable language. Almost a little awww-worthy.

Stolen Relics by Kadorienne added 130513
Thor wants his brother back, so Fury sends Tony to Asgard to persuade Odin to let them have Loki - assuming Tony will annoy Odin into refusing. But what Tony sets his mind to, Tony achieves. So they get Loki, after he's been tortured in Asgard for several years. Loki is grateful to have been rescued, but he's still out for revenge. Only later he and Tony pairs up and things get more and more complicated. Hey, when a linebacker-sized guy with the power of controlling lightning and big baby blue eyes beseeched you - besought you? - you did what he wanted. Nice story, one fo those long, highly enjoyable journeys to learn the characters, follow their interaction, be happy with their success and smile with their victories. Interesting plot, good emotion. Very nice resolution at the end. Good humor too. Sweet with Thor's preservance and how he has grown as a character, worthy of his destiny. I liked Steve too, cute with Tony wanted to prank him that he's been asleep again. Interesting pparallell between Tony and Loki. Heh for solving "nail-problems" with Mjolnir. Several good lines.

Hug Therapy by astolat added 130308
Thor takes help from the Avengers therapist, who suggests he should try hug therapy. Loki is not appreciative and instead starts up a game of gay chicken. How far is THor prepared to go to save his brother? Also our PR firm is going to quit over having to explain why one of us keeps snuggling the bad guy in public. Very amusing. God view of the alien mindset of the Aesirs. I liked the interaction with the poor therapist - cute ending. Heh for Thor pragmatically getting a breatsplate for added protection from Loki stabbing him. And I like Thor having Loki explain things for him (or not, if it is enough that Loki understands).

Dominion by astolat added 130307
Loki finally sits on the throne of Asgard. Thor kneels before him. Not unexpectedly now that Loki has almost all he ever wanted, he wants the rest too. And Thor is already so nicely placed ... And then they were all gone; the throne room was empty, and there were thunderclouds massed overhead darkening the windows, and Thor's hands on his thighs, tension swelling out the veins on the back of those beautifully muscled arms as he bent down. Hot. And fully believable.

Better Than Ice Cream by astolat added 130301
Loki pulls the old "just let me hold it next to you"-stunt and with a little extra lube, well ... things progress as Loki no doubt intended them to. But does Thor really mind? Of course Like might presume; Thor had given way to him, had spread himself eagerly as a maiden going to her first bedding and taken his cock as sweetly, as easily. Hot, with a nice dash of power play. Normally I don't read much PWPish stories, but this is a really nice one.

Grimm Disclaimer and information I enjoy watching Grimm. A show that deserves far more fic than it has.

The Revenge of the Hexenbiest by Antares added 131217
Renard gets stung by a Blaue Stich-libelle, aka the 'Revenge of the Hexenbiest'. The venom will gradually paralyse him until his lungs stop working and he dies of asphyxiation. there's no cure, apart from the spilling of 'the source of life' of one's fiercest enemy. Only the 'fiercest enemy' of a wesen is a Grimm - and the 'source of life' is semen. So now Renard has a favor to ask of Nick - a very personal favor ... For the first time, Renard forced himself to look at Nick Burkhardt not as his superior, or as a wesen who had to watch out not to betray himself to a Grimm, but as a man who needed something from the other man. Interesting setup. Hot too. And while I normally prefers stories to end in couples, I did like the ending and see it as hopeful. Interesting twist to the end as well. Nice touch with the German words.

Execution by dreamsofspike added 130827
Not everyone approves of Monroe and Nick's relationship. Monroe is kidnapped and Nick is sent a tape of his execution - a mock execution as a warning. Nick's had enough and he sends out a warning of his won - Monroe is off limits - or else. I’ll make every Grimm nightmare you’ve ever had seem like a sweet dream. I like a Nick who (while still being the nice Nick on the show) still can be completely Grimm bad-ass when he needs to be. Good reaction. Good threat too. Listed as a WIP, but stands very well as it is. Sweet end. Aww for the image of Monroe as a scared kitty trying to appear dangerous.

Even A Broken Clock by mm_coconut added 130814
Adalind goes after Monroe next. She sends him a clock with poison on, designed to make him forget Nick. Instead, Nick gets dosed - and forgets himself ... He doesn't know who he is or who Monroe is - or what either of them are. Now what? I've also noticed how I've been letting myself feel right at home in the space you've made for me. Nice take on Nick's abilities, that he is a trained detective and good with drawing conclusions. I liked Monroe's reaction to the clock. And Nick being a bit mroe than human, I wish the show would explore that more. Sweet with Nick opting to stay with Monroe, feeling at home with him. Good twist at the end too.

All the Time in the World by Kittycrackers added 130722
Monroe finds himself and Nick trapped in a refrigerated box car in a train heading towards Canada. Nick has a headwound and is badly off, not to mention quickly getting colder and a colder. What's a hot-blooded Blutbad to do? Nick stills and stiffens, and Monroe can sense his fear in the way his breath stops and starts and the way his heart rate quickens. Interesting take on Monroe's perception of the world when he is woged out. Very nice ending with the timeless kiss and all. Cute with Monroe understanding injured-Grimm-speech.

In His Eyes by dreamsofspike added 130722
Wesen keep being scared of Nick, despite all he has done. Finally he has a thought and asks Monroe exactly what he looks like, to the wesens. “Like every nightmare I’ve ever had.” I love this idea. I always wanted more information of how the wesen recognize Nick - this would be lovely, I'd really like that. I'd like to read more in this universe. Sweet ending.

You Don't Miss Twice by ghostsoldier added 130715
Monroe remembers that Nick is a cop and a good one, but even he sometimes forget that Nick's genetically predisposed to badassery. When the Grimm in Nick comes out to play, sometimes he scares even Monroes. Or turns him on. For a moment he's utterly frozen and you think, shit, too soon, too soon, but then he sighs into your mouth and kisses you back and the only thing left in your mind is YES. I like the look on Nick in this story, as seen through Monroe's eyes. Nice monster too, classic woven into the story. Nice dash of humor with the kid they rescued. Good voice for Monroe.

Grimm Numbers by Evenmoor added 130618
Crossover Grimm/Person of Interest in which both Finch and Reese are wesens and then Nick Burkhardt comes to New York - and the Machine sends Finch and Reese his number If Lionel thought he seemed too pretty to be a cop, he was definitely too pretty to be a Grimm. Very interesting crossover. Works very well. Well chosen wesens for Finch and Reese. I liked Fusco in this one. Nice scene where Reese realises Nick is a Grimm. I can see many more potential stories in this universe and I hope for more. Interesting to follow Reese guesses as to what type of wesen Finch is. Interesting that wesen recognize one another by smell (I'm not all caught up on Grimm canon). Very neat idea of Reese controlling himself by his own type of violence rather than what he could have done.

Changes by dreamsofspike added 130613
Drabble in which Monroe thinks on how powerful Nick has become and how easily Nick could hurt him. Nick slowly turns then, and the look in his eyes turns Monroe’s blood to ice. He’s suddenly very glad Nick saw him coming this time. Short, yet poignant. Interesting.

Hapless Trouble by brbsoulnomming added 130604
Hap doesn't die, because Nick comes to visit early and saves him. Hap stays with Monroe - and later with Nick. Theirs is an unorthodox pack, consisting of Blutbadens, Jagerbars, Reinigens - and a Grimm leader. Monroe is, according to Hap, Nick's second in command - but then Hap realises that Nick actually wants Monroe as his mate ... “Trust me, Nick, I’m a million times less lonely right now than I was before you shoved your way into my life.” I really felt sorry about what happened to Hap. I was happy to see him in a nice, long fic. Nice feeling between him and Nick, very much "bros". Good humor. Also very nice between Nick and Monroe, with a nice dash of angst, which I like. Fun with the pack, I like that idea. Several good lines. Interesting information about the blutbaden. Cute with the petting; the ponies; and Monroe and Nick joking about their abilities as blutbaden and Grimm.

In Which Things Are Started by Monroe's Love of Clocks added 130603
Monroe goes to a clock store - and is drugged by the scared reinigen to seek out the local Grimm and act on his basest instincts. The reinigen thinks he'll try to kill the Grimm - and be killed by him. Only, when Monroe gets to Nick he doesn't want to kill him. However, next morning he wakes up in Nick's bed with no memory of what happened. Monroe blinked at the obviously broken sound of Nick’s voice—it didn’t mesh right with the way a man should be talking when on the phone with someone who had taken him against his will the night before. Nice angst when Monroe thinks he raped Nick. Also good resolution and overall feeling of the story.

Ask Me No Questions added 130430
Hank is a good detective and he knows something is up with Nick and Monroe. However, since he doesn't know about the Grimm and Blutbad thing, he thinks that Nick is having an affair with Monroe. Which he isn't. Though perhaps the idea isn't all that bad after all? He's got a wardrobe full of deadly weapons that he's learning how to use, and a friend who's really a big bad wolf, despite the reformed ways, and Nick can't help but think that's so much cooler than a future of Labradoodle pups and cozy evenings by the fire. Cute story that made me smile. I especially liked Monroe congratulating himself for Hank thinkin Monroe could have bagged Nick. The boys well in character, especially Monroe. Sweet ending, though more would have been nice too. Heh for the fruit basket and for Nick going well with Monroe's sofa. Nice dashes of humor. And I liked the idea of Nick taking a course in German, sounds like a good idea, considering.

Courtship by bellacatbee added 130430
Monroe wants Nick. So he courts him. Sadly, he's not very good with human interaction, so he does it the Blutbat way. Will Nick even notice or will he kill him or ...? He himself wore a red shirt and kept the top button undone, flashing his neck at Nick and sometimes jogged ahead of him a little just to give Nick a chance to chase him but Nick remained completely oblivious to mating calls which was good because Monroe wasn’t sure how to explain the fact that he wasn’t keen on submitting but he’d been desperate to try anything at that point. Amusing story that made me smile. Perhaps not the most brilliant courtship, but oh well, it worked. Poor Monroe, not easy courting a Grimm. And bad boy Nick, with those red boxers ... Heh for Monroe unable to resist biting Nick.

A Rat And A Bear by ornategrip added 130430
When Roddy's father gets arrested he is taken in by Frank Rabe. The Reinigen is naturally nervous about living with Jagerbars. Especially when Frank's son Barry is short with him. However, Barry is fascinated by Ruddy's music - and, later on, by Roddy himself. Unexpectedly, the Reinigen finds himself the leader of a young Jagerbar. And so that was how Roddy found himself playing for a Jagerbar, who was just as rapt as his rats used to be, gazing at Roddy almost adoringly as he played. Cute relationship with an interesting dynamic. Nice with Rabe helping Roddy. Frank does seem like a nice man. Aww for Barry being more important to Roddy than his violin ... Sweet universe I would like to read more in. Heh for Frank approving in advance. Poor Roddy for having to endure Monroe's version of the sex talk ... I agree with the view of Barry's personality.

Fate Lines by Macx added 130225
Renard is a powerful wesen, a Regent - the Regent of Portland. He wants Nick and tries to get him using the coins but fails. However, they do end up together and, as it turns out, a Grimm is the perfect mate for a Regent. Together they protect Portland. However, the path is not without bumps, as other wesens show up, Hank thinks Nick has a new girl - and Renards family gets involved. His Grimm was the only addiction he needed. Lovely, long story with lots of nice details. Interesting. Several good quotes and some lovely OCs. I especially enjoyed Nick's wesen friends, how they are there for him, helping him and accepting him. Also good use of the "non-OC"s. Cute with Monroe counting Nick as close to pack. Interesting take on the Regents. I do hope for more in this series. Warm and fun in places. I also liked Nick's mother's reaction to the wesen who are her son's friends.

	Prison Break Disclaimer and information I really love Alexander Mahone. The others are fun too and I've read many interesting combinations, but Mahone is my favourite, one of my overall favourites actually.
PRISON BREAK (season 1) no image PRISON BREAK (season 2) no image

Cellie by serafina20 added 140110
AU in which Michael Scofield turns himself in to Alexander Mahone - and then Mahone, in turn, turns them both in. Alex confesses to the mruder of Oscar Shales. He's sentenced to 10-15 years and sent to prison. He's doing fairly well there. Then he gets a new cell mate - Michael Scofield. They hit it off and falls in love. But life in prison isn't easy. Is there any chance they can get out and have a future together? The minute Michael had walked into the visitor room, so obviously roughed up, Mahone had been out of his seat, over at Michael, ready to take down whoever had done it. I do wish chapter 11 could be posted so that the stoyr would list as complete at AO3, as that'd give this lovely story a wider spread I believe. This story is a bit special to, as I got a noe about it on a lousy birthday, an update note I have yet to figure out why it was sent to me, as as far as I can see it wasn't updated then. And it was a really lousy birthday and this sotry really saved the day for me. But more than that, it's that epic story you dream of finding when you get ito a fandom, by an author you trust - a true treat. Also with alex Mahone, who is my aboslutely favourite of Prison Break (and William Fichtner is my overall favorite actor). Interesting AU that works well. Good angst, good emotion Interesting OCs, but also good use of the canon characters. Near 200.000 words, but I would have loved to just keep reading ... When I reread prior to reccing a story I underline in my kindle - this one got nearly 300 underlines, which is a record for me. Lovely. I really liked how Mahone is regarded as something of a hero for what he did - he deserves good things. Good of the warden to trust him with Michael too. Good voices both for Alex and Michael in this one, though I especially liked Alex. Cute how the prisoners call Alex "FBI" - and Michael "Blueprint", both works well. I enjoyed Alex seeing Michael's tattoo - I would have loved to see more of that in the show itself. Good description of their first meeting in canon - and the phoneecall. heh for Michael to be a bit of a celebrity in prison. Aww for some of the cons trying to protect Michael from Alex. Aww also for Cameron. Such a sweet boy and I was very happy to have him in teh story. The sub story with Pam and Link was a good idea. Good view of Alex's sexuality. Great detail with the Break Out and being in touch with the actors. Very strong in bits. Good feel between Michael and Link too. I liked the guards, especially Simms, very good feel. The riot worked well. So sweet with Cameron's crush on Michael. Hot sex too, well described. Another jailbreak would have been interesting, though not necessary in this particular story, which worked well as it is.

Impossible Things by out_there added 140110
AU in which Mahone, age 28, is in Chicago, visiting, when he picks up Michael, a hooker, for sex. They get a connection. After his divorce from Pam, Alex moves to Chicago and contacts Michael again. He wants him as exclusively as Michael will allow. There are limits, though, even if Alex gets closer and closer to Michael. And then Michael comes to him with a request to help a man named Lincoln Burrows not get sent to prison. Can there be some sort of future for them? For that smile, Alex would attempt a million impossible things. I was a bit hesitant to the hooker thing at first, but there's a warm note to the story as Alex falls for Michael and they get more domestic together. Both in character, I especially liked the show of Michael's manipulative sides and Alex's voice. Good touch with Lincoln. And I liked the end. One of those stories one can imagine as the start of a long, sprawling feel-good universe with curtains, which would be lovely to read, but it works well as it is too, just with the possibility in my mind. Several good details. I also like d the engineer comment. Almsot a bit aww-worthy towards the end and a bit inspiring.

Letting Go by clair_de_lune added 131227
When he was sixteen, Michael almost seduced his brother, but Linc told him they couldn't. Now, after the escape, they share a blanket and Michael still wants his brother. How will Linc react when he finds his brother hard for him? Outside of the blankets, outside of Linc’s hold, it’s cold and dark, but here, now, he can feel the heat radiating from Lincoln and seeping into his body. Hot and with lots of emotion for what should be mostly a PWP. Warm, close and believable. would be nice to have Lincoln's view on his. Nice with the Scylla/Charybdus reference.

The Ninth Fold by x_art added 131227
AU set mid-4th season. The boys are trying to find Scylla and something is building beteen Michael and Alex. But then Wyatt is coming up on them. Alex leaves the others to draw him away while the others close in on Scylla. Alex's expression had changed and he was staring at him the same way he had back in Chicago, that first time in the elevator—head cocked, curious and wondering and just like that, Michael’s palms started to sweat. He rubbed his hands together and stopped himself from backing away. Very nice building emption between the two and I like the view of Alex in this one, it shows his strong, capable side and that Micahel needs him if the operation is to succeed. I also liked the vulnerable side of Alex shown at the start when he and Michael meet up again in LA. Another nice touch was Alex so sure he can find Michael. Would have made a good end to the show. Good, vivid descriptions.

It's Those Hands by clair_de_lune added 131008
Lincoln's always had a thing about hands - an Michael's has such beautiful hands. On the ship to Panama they spend 16-20 hours a day together in a small cabin and the last straw is Michael sucking juice on his thumb and Lincoln breaks. How will Michael react? Michael, little adaptable freak that he is, only needs a few seconds to recover from the shock and then he offers his fingers to Lincoln again. Nice description of Lincoln's attraction and how it leads to his break. Hot too. Interesting reaction from Michael. I could see this between them. Good descriptions of Michael's hands. I liked the emotion displayed. Heh for Lincoln's affectionate slurs of Michael in his mind (at least that's how I read it).

Your New Twin Sized Bed by out_there added 131008
Alex used to be in a relationship with Michael and Sara. There was an argument, though, and Alex left them. He has a job now, as consultant with the FBI. He has an apartment that he haets every night he spends there. he has the beginning of a life. The job gives him a reason to get up in the mornings. But is he happy? One day, Sara calls. He nearly smiles as he puts it together: Sara and Michael haven't spent weeks sailing on their own; they waited for a few days, and then came out to get him. Good emotion, several good lines and good language. I would have loved to know more about Alex's life after the series (though preferably without Lang) and a job like that would suit him. Nice touches of both angst and humor. I could see them easily getting into heated arguments and overreacting/things getting a bit out of hand. Interesting to read how Alex characterises himself. Good end with a nice compromise. Aww for "I needed you to say yes". Very nice with the care that has gone into Alex's room, he deserves that.

The One With The Pot by clair_de_lune added 130926
Michael and Linc do pot together. They get high. Michael also gets a bit hard and then the brothers get comfortable with one another. Michael settles more comfortably against Lincoln’s bare chest and rubs his cheek on smooth skin covering strong muscle. Warm and intimate with a nice dash of humor. Normally I don't approve of drugs, but this was sweet.

Form, Not Meaning by out_there added 130916
In Sona, Michael often stands by the courtyard, watching. The others expect him to. He thinks nothing of it, until Mahone tell him to stop staring - and explains why the others might get the wrong impression. But maybe, as it turns out, the impression they could get is not totally wrong after all. Animal grace and too human anxiety, and Michael wants to think of him as a wolf amongst the sheep, but no, he's more of a lion amongst the hyenas. Some really beautiful, vivid descriptions of Mahone, I like that he gets his due for his intelligence, capability and presence -looks too. Also an interesting what if towards the end - and an ending that I wouldn't have minded myself, that could have worked very well. Hot too. Several good lines. I liked the comparison of Mahone's eyes to titanium, for instance - I'm not too sure what titanium looks like, but it sounded great. Gunmetal blue I'm not sure of either, but it sounds lovely. Good understanding between them. Several nice details. Heh for the contact ad.

Party of Two by cerebel added 130916
Michael never made it to Fox River. Lincoln was executed, LJ is in prison and MIchael had a break down, ending up in an asylum. One day he becomes aware of another inmate, an Alexander Mahone. The two of them fit together and maybe not all is lost. Will your plan still work? Interesting what if-story. I do like the idea of Michael and Alexander doing this together, it has all kind of neat possibilities and things undeniably would have been different if Michael would have had Mahone from the start. Good end to the story, open but with a good sense of what will happen. Hot too.

Memento by weeping00willow added 130902
The company does brainwash Michael into working for them. But one day he sees something in the forest - and finds a black felt pen. He starts to remember things, like crazed blue eyes. When he finally disentangles himself from the other man’s lips – no longer a stranger, not even close – those blue eyes are looking just as crazed as he remembers, pupils blown to hell but still able to read right into his very soul. An interesting what if-story. and I do like the thought of the others working together to free Michael for a change, inspiring. Nice trigger. Very cute with Alex keeping the pen - also with him reclaiming it, after. Awww for the prey having found its hunter, that I really, really liked.

The Least Mysterious of all Crafts by flurblewig added 130902
Instead of escaping when T-bag captures Bellick and Michael, Alex is also captured. And T-bag, being T-bag, demands that Michael puts on a show for him, to show what a cocksucker he really is. Alex gets chosen as the other participant of the show. But will T-bag get the show he wants? Because if there is one thing I know about Michael Scofield, it's that he will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. When I watched that scene where Alex escapes I did wonder how things would have turned out if he hadn't, so this was a treat to find. But apart from that the story is good in itself, with good tension and a nice set-up. Everyone well in character and I could see T-bag trying to pull something like this off - and what happens too. A bit sad in the ending, but I hope it works out well for the boys and that they will get the timing right. Heh for T-bag at least being smart enough not to let his cock near Michael's teeth. Nice touch with Alex's job of worrying about the here and now as Michael plans, sounds about right to me. Nice with the communication between the boys. Heh for Lincoln seemingly aware of that something's up.

Breaking The Rules by flurblewig added 130902
Lechero did not like that Mahone stepped into Michael's fight, even if the other prisoner had a weapon. So he brings in Michael and Mahone to teach them a lesson. If Mahone was willing to kill for Michael, what else will he do for him? Or what will he let Lechero make him do for Michael? The remote, detached part of his brain that never quite switches off registers a cool amusement at just how close he came to swooning in Mahone's arms like a romance-novel virgin. Surprisingly hot situation - and the boys together are very hot too, of course. Nice dash of humor. I especially liked the description of Mahone in this one.

Five Times Fernando Sucre Pretended to Have Sex With Michael Scofield by thingswithwings added 130902
While Michael works on the escape behind their cell, Fernando is left within, hidden by the hung sheet. When a guard passes by he has to pretend there's a reason fo the sheet, that he's having sex with Michael. At first it's a bit weird, but later it gets familiar, even intimate - until he nearly yells out Michael's name from habit, when he does come for real. Where will this go? "Ohhh, Michael, yeah, just like that, suck it," he says, turning over the page of his novel. The story amused me and I would have loved to hear this pretending on the show, that would have been great. Nice touch with how bored Fernando sounds about the sex sounds as he makes them. Also how they are mostly silent in the end, nice contrast. Nice intimacy. Good on Sucre for letting Michael top, if only in the scenario.

Friendship (with benefits) by clair_de_lune added 130827
In Fox River Micahel needs his rest to be able to focus, but he can't sleep well. Sucre takes things in his own hand -literally, giving Michael a handjob to help him relax. He’s in this state between wakefulness and slumber, unable to fall into the comfort of sleep, so he needs a couple of seconds to understand what’s going on, to realize who is spooning him, whose arm is thrown across his midriff, whose breath is brushing over the nape of his neck. So sweet with Sucre helping out. This really felt like a friendship thing - practical and friendly, yet very sweet and intimate. Hot too, but more as an afterthought. Nice description of Sucre's voice. I liked this. Good trust between them.

The Creation of Alternate Universes by flurblewig added 130828
Michael makes a move on Alex. Maybe there is one universe where they laugh this off and forgets it ever happened. But maybe there's another universe in which they won't. Which universe will Alex decide that they live in? Now, there's something in Alex's eyes that looks confused, nervous, almost skittish. Well-written story with large sectios of good lines. The whole angel wings thing was amusing - as is how Linc seems to honestly consider they could through another dimension to get to Scylla. Michael well in character, very interesting about his confident smiling. I found Michael and Alex's game of building a plan sweet and amusing. Then I really liked the description of unsure Alex, how rare the sight would be and how Michael handles the situation. Sweet end.

A Convenience by clair_de_lune added 130827
In the beginning, Michael spied on Lincoln and Veronica having sex. Later on, though, he masturbates in his brother's bed, dreaming of Linc watching him. One time he looks up and sees Linc, actually watching him. Now what? It would be hypocritical, this reasoning, if he wasn’t aware of the fact that it is a convenience, an expediency to allow him to have his guilty pleasure. Normally I like my stories with a little more plot, but this was hot and sensual with a nice tension when Linc shows up. Sweet ending.

	Hannibal Disclaimer and information Interesting fandom for sure. I haven't read much yet, but I look forward to many interesting fics.

Little Lantern Boy by wendigodye added 141001
Will finds out that Hannibal is the Chesapeake Ripper. Unfortunatelly, he tells Hannibal - and Hannibal kills him. But Will wakes up, only there's two of him: him and his cold, dead body. Will is a ghost and he haunts Hannibal. As a ghost, though, Will needs souls in order to be strong. Luckily, he has his own source in the people Hannibal kills. They reach a form of cooperation, guided by the forces of Hell. Only ... there's still something Will doesn't know about Hannibal. Something big ... He’s prey who can’t decide between fight and flight—prey that is hanging on to that last thread of hope, that his wolf really is the sheep he was lead to believe he was. Very interesting, imaginative and nicely surprising. Sad with the dogs. Interesting look on Will, as described by Hannibal's victims. Heh for Hannibal being Will's "food bank". Sadly WIP, but I hope for a continuation. Interesting mythology with a look at religion I can appreciate. Several vivid images.

Little Spy by dreamsinrubies added 140929
Abigail, age eight, lives withher father, Will Graham. One day Doctor Hannibal moves in next door. Hannibal meets Abigail and likes her. He wants Abigail to be his daughter. He considers killing Will to get her. Only Hannibal isn't the only serial killer with his eyes on Abigail. And Hannibal is also starting to realise that Will isn't too bad. The sudden thought of feeding Will Graham to his daughter made his head spin with delight. WIP. Interesting AU I hope for a continuation of. Abigail is very cute and crafty. I like her and Hannibal conspiring.

Anchor In A Lockdown by Anna_Jay added 140702
AU in which Will works as a cop. He's wounded and rather than let him quit his superiors send him to a prison to work as a guard. In the maximum security ward he meets Hannibal Lecter, who soon declares Will under his protection. But will even that be enough to protect Will when the riot starts? And why does the riot start in the first place? “The Warden might look like he's in charge, but everyone knows Lecter runs the prison.” Nicely done prison AU. Good use of canon characters, both from the old movies /books and the series. Nice bits of mind games and set-up. I liked how the prisoners sort of adopt Will. Also his problems with the guards. Cute with the "Pup". I liked Hannibal in this one and how his power stretched all over the prison, how we see the obvious proofs in so much, very potent. I liked how when Hannibal was eager about finding out Will's days, Will was suspicious too, not just the reader, so that worked well. And how worried the prisoners were when they found Will among them. Good end, though more would have been interesting too (I'm always greedy).

Come around again (only want to say goodbye) by hito added 140515
Hannibal is locked up. Supposedly. In reality, he gets out whenever he wants: such as to visit Will after his appendix operation, avenge Will when he's almost killed by another serial killer, get coffee or celebrate Will's birthday. Will doesn't mind much, but Jack (and Chilton) does. "Do you have any cake not made by a cannibalistic serial killer?" Beverly asks mournfully, but Will doesn't. There's good crack and bad crac. This is the good kind of crack. While not perhpas not fully believable, it's very entertaining and a fun read. Good recurring gags such as Chilton's whinigns to Jack, the stuffed dogs and the Furbies. Heh for the other serial killer wanting to please Hannibal and for very good reasons not putting retinal scanners on Chilton's car. Also for the Usenet joke.

Role Reversal by Madelinesticks added 140514
Will tops. He's rough and Hannibal loves it. He grabbed at the sheets underneath him, had dropped, a few minutes ago, from his hands and knees to his knees and forearms and God, Will hadn’t stopped. PWP, which usually isn't my thing, but I like the raw heat of this one and the constallation, given the fandom, made it work. The theological references threw me a bit, as Hannibal doesn't strike me as religious, but I could read them as blank exclamations.

Inferno by Psyromayniak added 140514
Hannibal wants to touch Will all over. Including on the inside. Will lets him. There was concern running in a deep vein through the tremble of animalistic lust consuming the man’s vocal chords, all wrapped in a torn package of controlled professionalism and tied in a bow of simple adoration. In what other fandom would a vivisection be described so lovingly and intimately? Nice description of things. I'm not an expert on the body, but everything sounds correct without sounding like an over-researched info-dump, which is well done. Colourful images. The oscillating saw made me shudder.

Never Conquered, Rarely Came by thisisthefamilybusiness added 140226
Will is in an abusive relationship. He's ready to give up when he spos an advert in the newspaper. It offers cooking lessons, but Will reads behind the words - the advert is by a cannibal trying to lure in victims. In his distress, Will just wants things to end - so he goes there. What will happen to him? “You’re not gonna kill me?” Will isn’t sure if he’s disappointed or not. Good emotion, interesting set-up. Good end too, worked for me. Nice dashes of humor too. The Hannibal not being "a better man" amused me. I have a weak spot for Hannibal protecting Will, so that was nice. I would have liked to read more of the continuation here, though it works well as it is too.

Will is searching for a serial killer, but the killer in question despises Will for presuming to know him, so when given the opportunity the killer kidnaps Hannibal. Hannibal could get free, but finds it more interesting to put pressure on Will by having himself tortured and abused. He did not know how sensitive the recorder was, and added a hitch once or twice that it would catch even if it were a cheap one. I could see Hannibal do something like that, being so indifferent to physical discomfort for this type of pay-off. Good description of this, I liked Hannibal's manipulations, and how they are described, like "infusing" his voice with "imperfect stoicism.". Interesting.

Absolution by elfin added 140120
When Hannibal regrets having Will arrested he swifly points out some faults in the evidences against Will, so Will is released. Hannibal has feelings for Will, actual feelings. And then comes the day when he realises that Will knows the truth. Now what will he do - if anything? There is another ending here which he sees only when Will smiles at him through the bars and it brings him cursing, metaphorically, to his knees. Very romantic for the fandom with unusual feelings on Hannibal's part that moved me. I wouldn't want to read too much with him like that, but it worked well for this story, almost aww-worthy. Last story WIP, I hope for more. Would be a nice continuation of season 1. I liked how Hannibal guilted Jack. Heh for Will teasing Hannibal about killing for him. Nice dash of humor too.

Happy Anniversary by NichePastiche added 140120
It's Hannibal and Will's anniversary. ONly, in Will's mind it's actually their second. When he walks in on Hannibal doing something canibally, he knows he has to tell Hannibal quickly - before Hannibal kills him. Maybe Hannibal will do so anyway. We've only been together for one of those years, but two years ago today, I figured out there are people in our fridge. Cute story with good feeling and structure. Very romantic for the fandom. Aww for Will not wanting to be eaten by anyone else.

String Quartet Op.59 No.1 added 131227
Jack orders Will to make an appearance at an FBI event. Will doesn't want to go, but then Hannibal goes with him to keep everyone's attention off Will. But he also has Will's full attention and it is there, on the dance floor, that Will finally sees what is right in front of him. As the stag bowed its majestic head down to breath a mist of darkness over them, Will’s mind braided all these floating threads of theory and supposition together as he became Hannibal, going in by accident and coming out the other side with a truth so bloody it left his core cold and bright as a nova. Nice Will finding out-story. Good descriptions, especially of Hannibal's outfit. I liked Will's reaction to finding out. Heh for Hannibal forcing Will to dance with him. Aww for them being monsters together.

O Fortuna by DarkmoonSigel added 131227
Will praises the work of the Ripper and Hannibal preens. But as Will thinks more and more about the Ripper, describing him, he sees him better and better. Finally he sees all of him. It wanted to peek out through carefully half lidded eyes at the man….no, the other monster in the room.…the one who had seen it for what it was and was complimenting it. Kinda sweet with how Hannibal enjoys Will's words regarding the Ripper, almost aww-worthy. Nice description of how Will approaches the vision of Hannibal. Almost sad Will couldn't be what Hannibal wished for, but good solution to the end.

Piano Sonata No. 14 by DarkmoonSigel added 131227
Will and Hannibal are in a relationship. One night Will looks at Hannibal sleeping, when Hannibal's eyes open and Will seems them and the truth dawns on him. The truth, all of them, was there and it was beautiful despite its horrific nature, disarming in its complexity and grace while still tinged with the certainty of fate. Some beautiful descriptions. I like stories of Will finding out and especially non-canon ones, like this. Good emotion between them. I especially liked the comparison of Hannibal as water, Will as air and their combination as a storm.

Headlong Into The Abyss by Jenetica added 131217
Hannibal never thought it would be possible to have what he has now: a family he actually cares for. Will didn't think so either, though he was willing to take what he could get until Hannibal killed him. But now they are a family, the two of them and Abigail. Perhaps they can grow even closer. I assumed you could never love me back, and I waited for the day when you would tire of me and kill me off. Nice dash of angst, but a hint of good humor too. Good feeling between them in their own way. Good point of Will being able to see into anyone's mind, not just the criminal. Interesting description of the sex.

Of Monsters and Men by SuperWhoLockianFanGirl added 131217
Hannibal almost kills Will - and vice versa. But both survivives. Hannibal goes to prison and Will quits working for FBI. He never forgets Hannibal, though - in some ways he grows even closer to him. And one day the headlines calls out that Hannibal has escaped. Now what? Instead of being scared, Will thought about the fact that he might actually want Hannibal to pay him a visit, despite the fact that it would very likely mean his own death. Will's fall feels natural and I like the connection between the two. Good end. Good use of Clarence Starling to tie the versions. Some nice lines. Good show of Will's combination of fear for and pull towards Hannibal.

Black Holes And-- by Eligh added 131127
Will knows. He finds himself on Hannibal's front porch and he knows. Hannibal isn't home, but Will knows and he waits. What will he do when Hannibal comes home and how will Hannibal react? Will couldn’t fight (didn’t bother to fight) the way his shoulders instinctively relaxed at that familiar voice, and he shifted around to better face his friend (his serial killer). Nice description of Will's tumeleant state of mind, with a solution I like. Nice dash of angst and a slightly manic humor that worked well.

Whisper Broken Words by lonelywalker added 131106
Sleepwalking exhausts Will, until finally Hannibal and Alana makes him stay at Hannibal's place. Hannibal still finds him sleepwalking. Will kisses Hannibal and realises that Hannibal wants him. They're having sex, when Will finally figure things out. Bad timing. Now what? That head, that faceless mind Will had been trying to see for weeks was now right in front of him, masked by sharp cheekbones and deep brown eyes and an intellect that had deflected any suspicion at all but the most niggling, insistent thought that could only become a revelation as he slept. Poor Will ... But nicely written story that makes the logic leap work, besides the dream fuzzies. Hot too. Nice touch of danger and interesting with the end.

Accord by SorchaR added 131105
Will is idly looking around Hannibal's office, when he sees the truth. Hannibal realises that he knows, but instead of reaching for his knife, he reaches for a syringe. Will wakes up in a hospital bed, though not in a hospital. Hannibal has him in a four-point restraint. They talk about things. "To tell the truth, I have thought about eating you many times, but I realized that I would rather have you alive." Will figure things out and both their reactions to this I really like. I also liked the nearly amiable, almost surreal tone between them, despite the seriousness of the situation, probably a good tone for Will to set if he finds himself like that.

Mignardises by gryvon added 131022
They are on a new case, led by Agent Arthur Mills of the FBI. Arthur is an ex of Will's. They used to be in an abusive relationship. Arthur starts honing in on Will again, intending to get him back. This time, however, Arthur has a very fierce, very dedicated competition. Hannibal considers Will his. Maybe Arthur will even live to learn his lesson. If you ever touch my William again," Hannibal whispers, just for the two of them to hear, "I will skin you alive and roast you over a pit of coals before slicing away at your still living body, carving you up inch by inch. Hannibal being possessive is one of my favourite things about this fandom. For that, this was a nice story (even if I don't like rape stories otherwise, much). I also really liked Katz standing up for Will. Arthur deserved what he got, though Hannibal was surprisingly restrictive (possibly due to will, thought it amused me to think perhaps he wanted one to get away to tell the tale or maybe save him for later). Nice end, well put. I liked the touch of the image of the men like the pleasant darkness of a starry night and the pitch black of a bottomless chasm - both the images themselves, but that it doesn't exactly point out who is which.

Wind Through A Window added 131021
Hannibal is a werestag. He visits Will in his dreams and calms him down. Then the werewolf comes to town ... Sometimes, as he’s curled up beside you, he runs his fingers through your feathers, over your antlers, down your legs – and he whispers how beautiful you are, thanks you for being safe, asking that you never leave. Interesting plot. The dream scenes work well. A bit open ending, more would have been nice, but I trust in Hannibal's abilities. Nice touch that Will dreamed of the stag in such an early stage.

La Maison Rouge by Randstad added 131021
Hannibal shows up in the mornings to cook breakfast. Great, classy, good breakfasts, if occasionally with some extra ingrediences. Will is a bit hesitant first to be so catered to, but he slowly gets used to it. He watches Will's jaw work gratefully through the sinew of a young communications intern and feels, in his heart, the first stirrings of romance. Oddly kind of sweet. Good images. Nice twist to the end. Aww for Will starting to accept Hannibal's presence. Good show of Hannibal still being capable of such danger and such horrors.

Little Cat Feet by SorchaR added 131010
Abigail and Hannibal hunts together. They never tell Will, though not because they fear he would betray them. We conceal these things because Will has quite enough nightmares already, and we, who love him, wish to spare him any more. Cute story (for the fandom). I like this type of dynamic for them. Cute game at the end - oddly intimate. I also like the description of Hannibal's skills in hiding.

Apple Pie Heaven by j_gabrielle added 131004
Hannibal knows that things probably won't end well for him and Will. He can still enjoy the moment. Will is brilliant and Hannibal does not delude himself from that eventual conclusion of their story that would either end with Will’s heart on a platter or him in chains. Strong with a nice dash of angst, sadness as well. I do like Hannibal's possessiveness and practicality.

Jeeves and the Blessed Indiscretion added 130301
Jeeves start acting a bit strange. Wooster finds out that Jeeves is being blackmailed for being an invert. Now what is a Wooster to do? A Wooster knows a good thing when he has got hold of it, and I had rather a strong preference for making it until-death-do-us-part instead of two weeks' notice. Lovely language, sounds very genuine, good voice for Wooster, nice emotion. I smiled several times on reading it. Nice ending.

I Know Where We're Going by helens78 added 140604 - Contact
Kent Clark might be blind, but he's not passive. He's not stupid either. When Rodney all but disappears from the field, Kent knows something's up. Now Rodney's back. And he wants Kent to go with him. "Trust me," Rodney says, "you're about to need some new luggage and a prepaid storage unit." I really like Kent Clark, such an interesting, lovely character. It was nice to find a good story with him that open possibilities for him. Good points about his blindness and the handling thereof.

Situations by mlyn added 140108 - Black Hawk Down
The joint forces return to the states and get a three day leave. After an evening celebrating together, Jeff invites Grimes to his place to crash. He accepts. But when its just the two of them, Jeff's signals get more flirty - though not unwelcome. With a gentle hand on his shoulder, blue eyes smiling above him, and the smell of maple syrup in his nostrils, Grimes thought he was in heaven. I normally like my stories with a bit more togetherness/couple at the end, but I like the warmth of this story and how easy they fit together, almost domestic, which I like, and I think it feels a bit hopeful for the future still. Nice dash of humor too. I liked the description of Jeff especially. Hot too - good details about Rangers trained not to expose themselves and the bits of gentle struggle during the sex.

Stitching The Broken Whole by JinxFriday added 131216 - Crossing Lines
Sebastian have wanted Daniel for a long time. When they end up in the same hotel room together, it turns out that Louis is aware and he wants Sebastian too. Sebastian had always had rather a thing for hands, and Louis’s were the best sort, rough but clever. Hot story, but good emotion too. While I don't see much of these two in the show, I still liked the story. Also indicates a good overall feeling with the team, which I like.

King of the Castle by mareen added 131105 - Invasion
On the beach, Tom and Russel stands, waiting for Larkin to return. As they wait, they become closer than ever before. Russel will be right there with him, always right there. Having just seen the series I was sad to find so few fics about it, as it seems to have good potential. Alas, I was glad to find at least one fic I really liked. Good emotion between the boys and thanks to the series dynamic I even liked Mariel and the end, which I in many fandoms would have felt took from the boys, but here worked well. I liked Tom especially in this, good voice for him. Hot story too. Nice view on family.

The Chase by LilacNightmare added 131021 - Drive Angry
Milton escapes Hell - again. The Accountant finds him - again. The Accountant never tires of chasing Milton. However, someone else is getting tired. "I never tire of chasing you." Short but sweet story. I love the Accountant and he goes well with Milton. I haven't found much good stories, but I liked this one. Nice touch of irony and a dash of humor.

Reunion by zzoaozz added 130506 - Moby Dick
Ishmael mourns Queequeg. But is everything really lost? Right or wrong, I gave in to Queequeg and surrendered my body, my heart, my soul, everything to him. We knew each other as a man a women know each other, a union of the flesh, the spirit, and the soul, and we knew love in that same instant. Sweet story. I find few Moby Dick stories, but this was a nice one, even a bit aww-worthy.

Protection by HarleyD added 130225 - Oz
El Cid is using Miguel without protecting him. O'Reily finds out and he has a solution. Miguel will be O'Reily's prag, but unlike El Cid he does care about Miguel and will protect him. However, Miguel starts having conflicting feelings about O'Reily's feelings and things get a bit complicated. On one hand there was him getting the shit kicked out of him and having El Cid fuck him up the ass every night, or being protected by the Irish and the toughest mother fucking Mick to ever live, and well, getting fucked by that same one. A bit darker story than I normally like, but, then, Oz is a dark place. Poor Miguel, though not very easy for O'Reily either, bad Miguel. I like O'Reily's possessiveness, but how careful he is at times with Miguel. A little aww-worthy in places. Several good lines. The "Kitten" nickname is very sweet - and the purring a nice touch. Nice secondary pairing too - and the hint at the end very interesting. Not the healthiest relationship, but interesting.

Avatar by Seraph
There is a new player on earth, good for trillions of dollars - and are using them to do good. He is also gay. The firm puts one of their reluctant assassins on the job. Mike is straight, but he is slowly falling for the enigmatic Galen. And who is Galen really ...? As for his ethics and honor; whoever heard of an honorable assassin for God's sake? Original story, plot driven rather than (as so many such stories) sex-driven. Romantic, sexy. Not for the strongly religious, but very interesting in my opinion.

Beauty and the Beast by Raven St. Clair
As it really happened ... Original retelling of the story in which the Beauty didn't help at all, but the trusted childhood friend and servant. You see, I'd been placed in the cradle with him when he was born, destined to be his companion and servant. Sweet tale of devotedness and how faithful love is finally rewarded. Hint of furry and I'm not happy with the sexual story being told to someone of that age, but otherwise an interesting, nice idea. Slightly gritty, but good ending.

Face to Face by elfin - Knight Rider
Michael waked up with a tie to KITT implanted in his brain. There was an AI and his mind and he didn't want it removed. Not slash, maybe, but a warm, lovely story of two joining. Awww ...

Geek Squad by creedcascade - Die Hard
After Fire Sale the FBI contacts McClane, offering him the position as head geek wrangler at a new task force of hackers. One of them will be Matt Farrell. Who is easy to find, as he already lives with McClane. He accepts and an interesting team is put together. He hacked into dispatch and ... it was sort of cure in a psychopathic, possessive stalker way. Interesting pairing and interesting relationship as well. I do like the Geek Squad a lot, fun story, well-written. I also like the characters and the built universe. Good idea for the FBI to have such a squad.

His Shining Season by Ursula
An ex-con, newly released from prison, meets the owner of a minor league team, starts working for him and they fall in love. With some complications. You could make all clouds disappear, if you start with the small ones and just concentrate. Tony Edwards/OMC, but as I have no clue who Tony Edwards is, I read it as original. Sweet, interesting story. Tightly written, overall interesting, a heart-warming tale.

Minotaur by Albreckt
A warrior goes to fight the minotaur - and is captured by the beast. A heavy, thick hand rests upon his shoulder, forcing him to his knees and a golden circlet, seeming delicate, yet with impondrable weight, closes about his neck. Written like a fairytale, though with sex. A bit gritty, and a little pervy, yet interesting.

Shy Tiger by Derek Adams
Gourmet chef tries to rescue a guy from a gay bashing, needs a bit of rescuing himself. Luckily the other guy is a doctor and will take good care of him. Hell, if I want to see cannonball biceps, massive pecs and a fuzzy washboard belly, I can look in a mirror anytime I like. My favorite gay porn (as opposed to slash). Well written, a bit of humor, sexy. Slightly gritty and a bit measure-fixated, but nice. A bit of plot, even. Always hot with big, strong guy getting topped by a smaller guy. Even a hint awww-worthy.

Swords Against Dreams by marycrawford - Lankhmar
After a long day, Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser rewinds. They're still in mourning after their first loves, so female company is a bit difficult. A bit of wine and then the Grey Mouser gets another idea as to how to solve their common problem. Desperate, gambling all, he pressed his lips against Fafhrd's. On reading about Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser when I was young, I knew they belonged together, even if it was long before I heard of slash. On rereading some stories just now I went hunting for slash. I found few, but this story was the only one I've found so far that I really liked. Reads well, well in character. Nice hint of angst and I like the ending, very intimate.

The Lonely Deep Blue by HarleyD - Deep Blue Sea
Scoggs comes to the Aquatica and Carter finds himself a bit more social than usual. "I don't know why you are so afraid to meet these people, you're friends with me and I'm the scariest person here." Nice story in a fandom I have found very few stories in. Likeable, good emotion, hot sex, nice dash of humor.

The Point of No Return by Tenaya - Alias Smith & Jones
Curry and Heyes knew each other when they were young. Heyes start the gang, but has problems controlling the others. One day Curry meets them and joins up. He realises that Heyes need him and his quick gun - and he's very willing to help - and willing in other ways as well. But what does Heyes want? Heyes, on the other hand, could feel the tension that lay just below Curry's cold manner -the same way a rabbit knew a hawk had him spotted; you could call it instinct, or call it survival, but Heyes called it damn unnerving. I've always had a very soft spot for cowboys and watched a lot of Alias Smith And Jones when I was younger. Sadly I haven't found all that many good stories. This is an old favourite of mine. I like Curry's pursuit of Heyes and that tiny little hint of how helpless Heyes would be against Curry's gun; the not exactly non-con, but just a touch of that it could be. Nicely written story.

The Prince Regent by Jami Wilsen
When an ursurper takes over his father's kingdom, prince Cristian flees. He is betrayed by friends and brought to the ursurpers, who reveals that the land was invaded pretty much for his, Cristian's, sake. Stephen, the Warlord, is intent to have him - at any price. "I don't think my head would look any better on the block than it does on my shoulders, so I can't imagine why you'd want it there." The ending is perhaps faintly unrealistic, but I thoroughly enjoy the idea behind it, to conquer for love, and have been inspired by it to one of my own stories.

non fandoms Disclaimer and information These are shows and movies and such that I've seen and I own and in many cases like a lot, but I'm not seeing the slash in them. If you have something you really, truly think I'd like, based on my tastes (see above), I might be pursuaded to try, but I don't feel the need for it. I have these here mostly so I'll rememeber what I own and so that if someone wants me to bring something to a meet, they can look here.
